Good thing Daddy is an engineer!

One of Anthony's favorite toys has been his peek-a-block train. I bought it used from a neighbor, so we didn't spend much on it. His favorite part of the train (besides the electronic music) is the ratcheting thing on the yellow car. Basically he likes to push it with his fingers while it goes. (Its supposed to turn the block around.)

That part of the toy never quite worked right. Shortly before the holidays it stopped working entirely. The previous kid probably stripped some of the gears and Anthony finished them off. Well, Bob did his best to get that part working again. He ended up getting out the BIG electronics toolkit, but still couldn't even get that part of the car open. He did manage to fully disassemble and reassemble the engine, though.
