I signed my life away for a day out with Thomas | Playgroups are No Place For Children

Fantasies of this
day have invaded my thoughts
since I learned of it

Priviledge of riding
Thomas, only cost my soul
Carson MUST love it

***

I have such high hopes, hopes that I pray won’t be dashed about our big day of riding a REAL, LIVE Thomas tomorrow when we go to A Day Out With Thomas. My imagination has conjured up images of Carson’s jubilant response when he gets to see and ride on Thomas. For years to come, he’ll thank me for enriching his life by taking him to ride on Thomas. At his wedding, he’ll mention that this ONE day, Day Out With Thomas, helped make him the man that he is and it’s all because his mommy loved him enough to take him.

Maybe my hopes for the day are a little bit overblown. A little. I guess I am sort of worried since everyone I know or have read about has reported less than stellar responses from their Thomas loving tot, whether it be a freak-out session or bored apathy.

But surely that won’t happen to Carson! He LOVES Thomas, and really any train, truck, tractor, or automobile. He couldn’t possibly freak out!

Except that he IS a volatile two-and-a-half-year-old who may or may not occasionally exhibit multiple personality disorder unexpectedly.

Hold me.

Sounds like A Day Out With Thomas is barely a step above Chuck E. Cheese! I chalk it up to overstimulation. Yay for you for toughing it out!

We took Dylan to this last year. It was 134 degrees, I was pregnant and there were 45,000 people there. For us grown-ups? It sucked. For him…it was the TIME OF HIS LIFE.

When that full sized Thomas pulled up he was so excited he almost started crying. It was THE cutest thing I have ever seen. To this day.

I hope Carson loved it as much as Dylan did!

I refuse to admit whether I cried when I saw Thomas | Playgroups are No Place For Children

Wow, I write lots of haiku (site IS called Haiku Venue after all)… but I’ve never paid any attention to what day I write on. The most recent FRIDAY haiku was back in february! So that’s the one I posted to your linky thingy. Any way, now that I know you’re here… I’ll try to write more on Fridays.

We did two of those when the boys were younger, and they were a huge hit. How did it go?

I just thought, wow, I’m so behind in my reader, she probably already answered that question.

Don’t mind me.

Years ago, one of my now 10 YO twins was Thomas crazy. I bought tickets to go 2 states away, because Thomas wasn’t coming to Alabama. Drove all the way there, hotels, lots of $$…so he could get on the train and promptly fall asleep. LOL (But, hearing him yell when he first saw Thomas was worth it.)

6 mos later…Thomas came 20 miles from my house. Oh well.
