Train tunnel

My little guy is playing with the play tunnel and his battery-powered Thomas train. He turns on Thomas, puts him in the tunnel, then runs to the other end of the tunnel and patiently waits for Thomas to come chugging through. The only problem is that the tunnel is set up over a futon mattress on the floor, and also going around a curve. So needless to say, Thomas doesn’t get very far before he falls over on his side. So then little guy runs around to the other end and uprights Thomas, and runs back to wait at the end of the tunnel again. The little guy just looks so cute, peering into the tunnel, waiting and waiting. He has the concept down; he just doesn’t quite get that Thomas is facing insurmountable obstacles here.
