Ok I have been holding it in

Andra Loves Thomas the Train!

We did not let Andra watch TV or movies. Let me clarify. She did not care about the TV or movies. I would sometimes try (in moments of weakness) but she would not watch ANYTHING. Then one day she saw a Thomas the train doll. She loved it. Then she saw Thomas on TV but, loved the music, but still did not watch the show. Then we went to Chicago and one of her cousins (also a girl) had a large plush Thomas the train. Andra was in love. From the time we landed back in Texas she asked about Thomas; where he was? Can she watch? Ect. The problem is that Thomas is only on a few times a day at odd hours and I was not going to rearrange or plan my day by the TV so we went out a bought a Thomas DVD that has many 6-9 minute shows on Thomas. [Side note: Andrew remembers watching Thomas as a kid and the video we got are the original old ones, so very nostalgic for Andrew] We also got her a few Thomas books and wooden train. Andra was so happy! She loves the into music. She will stop doing what she is doing if that music comes on. Then she watches the episode then off to something else. 8 out of 10 times it is a Thomas book or dolls. And yes she will pee and poo in the potty for Thomas stickers!

So my little girl who loves shoes, care what princes is on her panties loves Thomas the Train. There I said it. Now off to plan a Thomas the Train birthday party! So far while look for

PS She now likes Thomas, Zoboomafoo and Wonder Pets! And we now limit the screen time (TV, ipad and ipod) but she always gets at least 30mins of it while I cook dinner
