Thomas, Thomas, Thomas!

If I hear this name once in a day, I hear it a million times--and of course, there is James, Henny (Henry), Eminy (Emily), Dunun (Duncan), and Dunun (yes, same pronunciation, but he means Gordon) that he frequently reminds us that he does not have. He talks to them, role plays various storylines from the books and shows, and even has a makeshift Tidmouth Sheds where they sleep at night. His absolute favorite character at the moment is Diesel 10, whose evil plotting to rid the Island of Sodor of steam engines fails as he falls from a bridge into a pile of sludge. I happened to find Diesel on Ebay after searching every toy store in our area, and you should have seen the I-can't-believe-my-eyes expression on dear Brayden's face when I revealed this devious diesel.

Guess where Diesel 10 is right now. He can't be near the Shed with the steam engines, so he pines away his evenings in the surround sound subwoofer--Just close enough to be a threat to Thomas and friends :-]

I can't wait to give him his train table we bought for Christmas; I would almost break down and give it to him now if Jason would agree!

So far all we hear regularly is "BALL!" And "MELMO" and "RAWR" (Car) and about 5 other things! LOL I think Thomas is a great pick because there are so many characters, and that is great for their memory and such. I remember Jaxon could recite off like 40 different characters like the alphabet. And so far, all but one of Dylan's early christmas presents we have found on sale and such have been given to him! LOL We are weak over here.
