Thomas the tank engine

May 4, 2008

I’m sitting here at the computer ( I WAS checking facebook), and I hear my son upstairs playing with his trains. Now, for a moment, let’s forget the fact that he is supposed to be cleaning up for Community Group tonight. We’ll (I’ll) deal with that in a minute.

James is in a “Thomas” phase. He’s been watching his many DVD’s while he plays with his very elaborate track that he and Sarah put together. For about the last year, he hasn’t been playing with his trains much at all- and I was kind of sad. I even put away the big pieces and all but a small bit of track. But he’s baaaaaack! Right now he is singing the Thomas song while he plays. When he was little he’d sort of sing it – you know, the same phrase over and over again. Now, when he sings it, it is with all the right words (the wrong ones were cute though), the correct melody, AND all the little instrumental bits in between.

Just thought I’d let you know! (All 3 of you who haven’t deserted me while I’ve been playing onĀ  Facebook)

    I’m going to have the Thomas song stuck in my head now.

    Our toys seem to go through cycles of neglect and attention too. Usually just about the time I’m thinking of putting something away it becomes beloved again.

    Glad to see you’re back. We haven’t had anyone watch Thomas in a long time but the kids won’t let me get rid of the tapes (yes, ours are all on video). I’m with Suzanne, thanks so much (insert sarcasm) for the tune that will now haunt me all day.
