There is a fun beach near our home called Sunny Side. Trains consistently roll through—very close to the shore. The trains are fast and LOUD. Some of the cousins are scared of these trains—so naturally, I thought Dane would be a little concerned. But he wasn’t in the slightest. In fact, he was obsessed with watching the trains pass. He was in heaven. I guess it’s because the subway trains in NY are extremely loud and whiz by very close to the waiting passengers—so he’s used to it by now. Funny thing though, when the garage door goes up at my parents’ house—he is scared to death. He looks all around, trying to find the source of the sound—it’s very startling for him because really, he’s had no experience with a garage or a garage door! I guess that’s city life for you!
