the power of thomas...

When we got here (to the hotel) there was no DVD player in our room. Before going out to buy one, we called down to the front desk to see if they had any. A couple minutes later some guy knocked on the door. He had come to save us. Ethan had not been able to watch Thomas for about a week and it had been rough. As the guy was setting it up, Ethan ran to him and said, "I have to tell you something. I...LOVE...YOU!"


Yes, that is a band-aid. A bit obsessed? I think we are enabling this addiction a little too much.

Thanks to Thomas the Train, Ethan has finally kicked the "binki" habit. I know, I know, a two-and-a-half year old still using a binki, pathetic. In our defense, he only used the binki at night. But that is beside the point. The fact is, the binki is now gone and no longer a source of contention in our family (Jon wanted it gone long ago, but I liked sleep). Ethan earned a new Thomas movie by sleeping without it.

One week later and still no binki. Thanks Thomas!
