Choo-choo training

Ethan is learning new things today; 
Stand with your legs a little wider apart than your shoulders. Tell your baby he's the train and you're the tunnel, then encourage her to crawl through your legs. Add a few "chug-a-chug-a-chugs" and train-whistle sound-effects as she passes through. After he's done this a few times, suggest that now the train needs to go through the tunnel quickly, before it collapses. As she passes through, squeeze your legs together gently and pretend to catch her (giving him a head start, of course), or lower your body (bending your knees) as if you're about to sit on him.
