Positions and Personalities

When they are not separated by a nap, school hours, or the timeout wall, they are found together. Lately, a jump rope or chairs lined up while mopping, have made instant trains. The three quickly take an available position: Driver/Engine, Caboose, or middle Dining Car.

Tyler is not so much a fan of the front.
But put him in the back, where he can see his sisters and keep up with running legs, and he is a happy camper.
In Tyler's mind, "I have no idea why our hands are raised, but I'm in!"

"...as long as my sock stays on, that is!"

Paige will take the middle or back, if it comes with the a guarantee that she'll soon return to driving position. As long as she is wearing a dress, she's generally happy to participate (if a cold day has me requiring pants and a long shirt, however, it's a completely different story).

Meg initially preferred the front or the back. More control and better scenery, I think. But, one of the times she was stuck middle she came up with the title of "dining car." Newly titled, she could taunt sister with its coolness.
