Thomas the Tank Engine

Since I took Casey to Bob the Builder back in January, I decided that I would do something special for each of the kids. Just with Mom. I'd never really done anything like this before and thought I should. Casey just loved Bob the Builder.

Emily's choice was to see the opening of the Hannah Montana movie in a big theater with movie theater popcorn pop and a giant kit kat bar!! I didn't get any pictures of the movie...But we had an awesome time!!!

Carter's turn came Tuesday. We went to a play called Thomas the Tank Engine and the Circus comes to town. It was very much a musical and encouraged lots of audience participation.

Carter has always loved Thomas the Train and we haven't had the opportunity to see lots of play productions so this was just great! I think Carter enjoyed having Mom all to himself as much as the play. He got to ride up front in the van with me and was watching the speed limit signs. (Because I got pulled over last week and he wanted to be sure I was following the rules that night!)

He was as mesmerized as Casey was with Bob the Builder...
My little boy is getting so big...I even got him to sit in my lap for awhile. I don't get to do that often any more. Carter is my big cuddler.
Carter was enthralled with how everything worked. He kept watching where the lights were shining from and how they were making the engines smoke, etc. Maybe he'll build and create things someday...

The verdict was that it was awesome, even better than movies!! Since Carter loves TV, that's saying a lot!!

I really enjoyed myself. I think we need to do this alone time more often...
