Choo! Choo!  My name is , and I want to welcome you to Whistle Stop Station.   Choo! Choo!

I'm going to ride the rails with you and transport you into a new world -- Toddle Zone.  This way you will get to meet my family and learn a little about me.  Choo! Choo!  ALL ABOARD!!

Hi, Mémère thinks that I should stop playing with my trains and introduce myself.  So here goes.   My name is Kyle, and I am the engineer.  I am just a little boy, but I can really talk.  Everyone says how smart I am.  That's probably because I'm such a good little boy.  I am 2 years old. My birthday was on June 9th.  I like to run and jump from one thing to another.  I also like to stay close to my Mom, especially when there are lots of people around.

I have a big brother; his name is Mikey.  We live in eastern Massachusetts with Mom and Dad.  Their names are Clarice and Mike.  My cousins live there too.

Lets begin our journey now, aboard the Callahan Express.  All Aboard!!

These are some of the things that make me chug, chug, chug.

	Riding toys;
	Olives on my fingers;
	Raisins;
	Aunties Chérie, Di, and Robin;
	Dessert; and
	My thumb.

And these are some of the things that can cause me to derail

	Grownups saying "No,"
	Grownups saying "No Kyle,"
	Grownups saying "I SAID NO KYLE,"
	Naptime when I'm not tired.

My family has two pets.   Mom has her cat, Pumpkin and Dad has his dog, Tara.  I love them both.   We have fun.

Do you want to see a picture of me with my two good buddies?

A message from Mémère:

Hi toots,

What can I say about you?  You are God's gift to us -- our little piece of heaven.  You are a very special boy -- full of smiles and joy, mischief and curiosity.  You are all boy and attack everything with gusto.  You bring joy and smiles to all who meet you and you enrich all of their lives.

I look forward to watching your personality emerge.  Don't try and grow up too fast; you'll be an adult for a very long time.  Enjoy your childhood ... it's such an innocent and magical time. I love you, Kyle.

Love and kisses,
Mémère
