Since I wrote a post about my obsession (AI) I figured I'd post about Jace's - Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. Wow - I mean, the child LOVES Blue's Clues, and he loves the Cars movie, he has always loved anything with wheels or balls, but nothing compares to his newfound obsession with Thomas the Tank Engine. It is all he wants to talk about, all he wants to play, watch, read, etc. He even sleeps with the paper Thomas advertisements that come with the movies and toys. So, since he will (hopefully) grow out of this obsession eventually, we have decided to seize what may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, and we are going on Sunday to see Thomas and Friends LIVE in a performance in the Tri-Cities. It was going to show in Yakima, but it got cancelled (bummer because we had awesome tickets), so we are going to see it in Pasco. We have been counting down the days, and he is very excited. I am interested to see how they perform a play with trains... it should be good. I'll spare you the details on how much the tickets cost, suffice it to say they were nauseatingly pricey, but we feel like it is going to be worth it. We are also going to take him to 'A Day Out with Thomas' in Hood River, OR at the end of June. At this one he actually gets to ride on Thomas the Train and they have storytelling with the conductor. That one is close enough to his birthday that we can call that his main b-day present, so that will be good. Anyway, in case you are interested in a glimpse into Jace's passions, here are some links to the wonderful world of Thomas...

Hi All,
Jace's Thomas the tank engine obsession might be very easy to explain. Jace's Dad was very excited about Thomas the Tank Engine when he was small. We actually visited Shining time station while we were in England.
