Since before he could walk, Red Head has loved Thomas the Train. When he began talking, it wasn't long before he could name every train, even ones that were the same color but had a different number on it side or more wheels than another. He would correct us if we called the train the wrong name!!! It was amazing. To this day, he still loves Thomas. He watches the movies, plays with his wooden railway, reads the books and works on his Thomas "laptop".
This morning, he spread out his track and trains all over the hallway. He's acting out different scenarios from the various movies or books he's read. He's making train horn noises, pretending to be Sir Topham Hatt and of course derailing and crashing the trains into one another. I love that he still has so much fun with these trains. It's only a matter of time before something like Transformers or the Power Rangers take over...
Until then I will enjoy watching him create adventures with Thomas. I will continue to laugh as he looks at the Thomas catalog (like I look at my scrapbooking magazines) with a look of concentration that is trance-like! This boy loves Thomas....and so do I.
*We miss you, Daddy. We're thinking about you while we work on Red Head's trains and can't wait until you come home on Wednesday. We LOVE you.
