I love the way she plays with trains. They have conversations, they talk, they interact, the have arguments -- they relate! And she will do it all while wearing a pink tutu.
Yes, pink. Her favorite color.
We were talking this morning and somehow the conversation moved to trains. Somehow? No seriously, every conversation moves towards trains. Well, today we talked about how cool it would be if trains had wings and could fly. So I had to make this:
 |
| Flying Thomas!! |

| Made with yarn and a plastic coat hanger, because that is what I had at home. |
 |
| Tricky to manipulate while holding a camera... |
Okay, that's just awesome! XD But you know Teg will want a repeat performance...
ReplyDeleteI showed her the puppet this morning. Her initial reaction was to freak out. I think she thought I was torturing poor Thomas. She didn't understand what all the strings were for. She quickly recovered when she saw the flying...then she thought it would, indeed, be cool if ALL of her engines could fly. We ended up playing a game where the engines raced around the house and Thomas always won because he could fly!
ReplyDeleteIt was like Tinkerbell had visited our house!
That is so freaking fantastic! My 3 y/o is Thomas-crazy - somehow the first two boys avoided the craze but it hit hard on the third. I need to remember to show this to him!
ReplyDeleteOur four year old is totally Thomas crazy -- and I can't foresee a time when she will not be. I suspect that when she gets married, the decor will be Thomas themed and so will the party favors! I know that's not the case, really, but it's hard to imagine otherwise...
