Nate's Date with Thomas

To say Nate is obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine (and his friends) would be an understatement. He sleeps with at least two trains every night, he knows every single train's name (to include the buses, helicopter, and other random train yard equipment - I still can't even tell them all apart), he can spend hours in his playroom pushing the trains around the track, and several times a day he comes up to us just to say "Watch Thomas?" and when we let him watch it he starts dancing around. Then he proceeds to narrate each episode as only he can..."Thomas sad", "Slow down Thomas!", "Be Careful Percy!, "Crash!"....

So, when Amanda and Jackson bought him tickets to see Thomas Live at the Fox Theater for his birthday, he was very excited! He loved the Fox - the stars lit on the ceiling were captivating, he kept saying "tinkle tinkle!". Then the show started and whoa...he went nuts! He jumped up in my lap and screamed "Hi Thomas!! Hi Percy!! Hi Gordon!! etc etc" pretty much the whole show. I was worried that his attention span wouldn't be long enough for t

he whole show but he did great. It was a fun night and it was really cool to see him so excited to see Thomas in "real life"!
