well, this post has been a long time coming... but i'm determined to catch up on life a bit.
last month, i took tucker to the Strasburg Railroad to see Thomas the Train. this trip was a special reward for his choice to be a big boy by giving up his thumb. it's hard to believe my youngest has so quickly left that stage of his life behind, but i'm very proud to see him grow up. experiencing all the big trains in action was amazing enough for a three year old boy, but seeing the big trains along with the REAL Thomas was definitely over the top.
i gave him his choice of train hat - and although all the other kids were sporting the cute denim engineer caps,
tucker went straight for the "mr conductor" hat. and he wore it well...
our train ride was rather quiet. having me all to himself is not something tucker is used to, so he didn't feel the need to do a lot of talking.
instead he just took in the sights.
and there was lots to see...
but, by far, his favorite sight was his favorite train pulling out of the station as we were pulling back in. he was on the look-out...
"there he is!"
"bye, thomas!!"
precious! his enthusiasm is so cute! we are probably headed up there in the next few weeks :)
