“Now I’m gonna draw my best friend.”
“There’s a four seesaw”
“I even have trains.”
“This is a remote controller and a gun.”
Family Feedback:
“Daniel plays ‘trains’ everywhere – he usually has a small train in his pocket wherever he goes. We are on playgrounds around the FNSB [Fairbanks Borough] daily.”
Daniel's mother writes that he usually plays with his siblings or neighborhood friends and that “there is a small group of young kids around the neighborhood.” She also writes that he plays trains outside during the “warmer months.” “He draws tracks with chalk and plays, or in his room or living room floor with its foul out.”
She writes that he plays trains “daily! We are at the playgrounds, parks, etc. all summer after school, etc. When it gets cold we head to Birch Hill, Children’s Museum, etc.”
“He has absorbed everything there is to know about trains – names of engines, where they travel, history, mechanics, etc. He is often heard role playing with his trains on the driveway by neighbors. It’s pretty cute and fun to listen.”
