Squeak, Squeak, Squeak

Our house has acquired a constant squeak, squeak, squeak sound recently. Elijah is learning to walk, and although he doesn't have the confidence to just take off on his own, he loves to push toys around. His favorite is a yellow train with a push-handle at just the right height. Eli stands up, latches on, and just starts running around the house. He's put so many miles on that little train you'd think the baby fat would just melt away (it hasn't yet).

The only problem is that this train has a squeaker that's tied in to the wheels, so every couple of feet we get this loud SQUEEEEK! And like I said, Eli can go for hours just doing laps in our kitchen. I'm starting to hear it in my sleep and at work. I don't want to take it away because it's so good for him, but the squeaking mechanism may just accidentally become disconnected…
