The last time we laid all the tracks and trains on the floor and train table my daughter looked it all over and said, “Mom, we collect Thomas stuff the way Grandma collects cats.” Which was really funny, because Grandma really does have quite a few cats.Īlthough my older kids would never admit it out loud, they still love to get down on their hands and knees and build an endless variety of twisting tracks or create cute scenarios for my 4 year old. Over the years we’ve collected hundreds of Thomas pieces, from smaller wooden train tracks to an extra-large Thomas train table.
THOMAS AND FRIENDS KING OF THE RAILWAY DVD TV
I like Thomas because he encourages their imaginations, and that’s nice for a mom to see when they frequently choose iPads or TV over playtime. They like Thomas because, no matter what type of play set they’re using, you can come up with a new way to play all the time. Downtime is what keeps my family connected when things get chaotic.īecause I have 3 young boys, we tend to reach for toys when it’s time to relax, and out of all of the toys they choose, Thomas the Tank Engine is still the clear favorite.
Take downtime for example – there is seriously no greater feeling of contentment than when we have no where to go, nothing to do, and we’re sitting around playing or watching movies in our PJs. With four kids under the age of 11 in tow with me almost everywhere I go, I’m that person people in Costco feel the need to sympathize with by saying, “Oh dear, you have your hands full” (no kidding) or “Are they all yours?” (Yes, indeed they are).īut even though my four look like they’re a lot of work and can cause different levels of stress on any given day, having them has really given me a greater appreciation for so many things in life.
