I worked a half day today. First couple of hours went fine (except for the coughing), but by 12:30 I was having noticeable trouble breathing. Fortunately, I (a) had my inhaler with me, and (b) had already arranged to have Michael pick me up at 1:00.

I don't seem to be able to nap, but I'm resting. Spent a couple of hours reading in bed, went down to say hi to Alex (her nanny is here today), and am now sitting up drinking tea and trying to let my upright posture clear my sinuses.

Alex is downstairs, literally shouting with excitement. "Alex's train tracks! This one go here! Through the TUNNEL! Excuse me, engine! Boxcar go up the HILL! Alex's TRAIN TRACKS!"

Man, that was the best $13 we Santa ever spent.

I think you're not reckoning with the short attention span of the toddler - even the enthusiastic toddler. The B&O Railroad Museum, which Michael linked to, offers short local train rides as part of the admission; that's probably more her speed for now. But I have my eye on the steam excursion train in western Maryland, and of course Amtrak for future inter-city travel. We're in a good part of the country for rail travel.
