That's the theme to "Thomas and Friends", in case you don't know. My kid has become OBSESSED with Thomas over the past week or so. We discovered that one of our On-Demand channels has it one there, so he begs to watch it over and over and over. There are only about six episodes on there, so we watch the same ones again and again. I know, repetition is good for toddlers. But not good for mommies.

J will say, "Thomas?" If that gets no response, then it becomes "Choo-choo? Please?" and who can resist that?! He only has one of the Thomas engines, but he's getting a train table for his birthday, so he'll be getting more of them soon. (If you want sticker shock, check out the prices of Thomas stuff. It's insane. Luckily, there are a couple of other brands that are easier on the wallet.)

Speaking of J's birthday, I started planning his party. It's going to be at Funset Boulevard. I know that he's going to have a blast. I love it cuz I don't have to do a thing other than show up with the birthday boy. I wanted to have it the day after his birthday and spend his actual birthday with just us, but Chris wanted the party on Saturday so as not to interfere with the Packer game. Whatever.
