(But I&#8217;m not anxious for him to grow up.)<\/p>\n<p>This morning I asked G&#8217;tums what was his plan for today and he told me that he was going to make a train lapbook. So thanks to Carissa at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.1plus1plus1equals1.blogspot.com\/\">1+1+1=1<\/a> blog we made an adorable little lapbook together. The only thing we added was a package of stickers, because he loves stickers. Well, what three-year-old doesn&#8217;t love stickers?<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"G'tums (age 3) with his Train Tot-book by prayingmother, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prayingmother\/3484715426\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"441\" alt=\"G'tums (age 3) with his Train Tot-book\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3548\/3484715426_f2463b8727_o.jpg\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Proud boy with his very own lapbook!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Cover of Train Tot Book by prayingmother, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prayingmother\/3483901939\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"307\" alt=\"Cover of Train Tot Book\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3311\/3483901939_879fddf648_o.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The cover, made from stickers that I had picked up at <a href=\"http:\/\/michaels.com\/art\/online\/home\">Michaels<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Inside of Train Tot Book by prayingmother, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/prayingmother\/3483901685\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"174\" alt=\"Inside of Train Tot Book\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3359\/3483901685_4fcfc62505_o.jpg\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>A better look at the inside: The left-hand pocket has cards with different shapes on them. The middle book has a different colored train on each page, that he colored. The right-hand book is an accordion style fold that counts from 1-10, showing the correct number of trains to correspond with each number.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the direct link to the lapbook: <a href=\"http:\/\/lapbooksbycarisa.homestead.com\/ThomasTotBook.html\">Thomas the Train Tot-Book<\/a>.
