A New Friend Named Thomas

We were lucky enough to be given tickets to Thomas and Friends Live! this weekend.  Alekzander hasn't ever sat in front of the TV to watch any show nor does he know who Thomas the Train is, but we decided to indulge his little cultural senses.  It could have been an utter disaster, but it  he was absolutely amazing.

He was enthralled with the actors, the songs, and of course, the moving, talking trains.  A few moms around us missed part of the show as they were blatantly watching him sit perfectly still, eyes locked on the action.  I was as shocked and impressed as they were - and uber-proud of my little 14 month old theater go-er.

 

We tried to get some wiggles out during intermission.  A walk around the coliseum turned into a run for our cutie who did make it through the second half without a problem.  He hopped from lap to lap, spilled some food on himself, and said "Hi!" to some of the kids around him, but especially loved the singing and clapping.  He clapped his little hands like crazy and looked at us to make sure we were participating.  We absolutely were - with smiles on our faces and joy in our hearts that is best taught and modeled by a child. 

Without a doubt, Thomas {and his friends} will be a friend of the family for years to come!
