Blue Room Speedway

Our playroom has become a raceway ever since Benji began walking behind his toy cart. First he would drag race north or south, and then he would require assistance turning around before tearing out in the other direction. Soon, though, he learned how to turn and began continuously oval lapping the room. After watching his brother’s fun for a couple of weeks, Trey Davey took up the challenge and began his own toy cart walking. Initially there was no competition or toy jealousy. One boy would take a run, then rest while his brother took a go. Eventually however, the twins began to tussle over toy rights. Seeing a learning opportunity, Sandy encouraged them to play together, but two drivers seldom make for happy motoring. She then remembered that we had purchased a second, similar cart at a garage sale so they could each drive one. Now the racing never stops.
