WeeBee is obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine. Obsessed as in our conversations when he wakes up in the morning run something like this.
WeeBee: Hiya, Mommy!
Mommy: Hi there, WeeBee. What's up?
WeeBee: Milk? Juice? Milllllllk? Fuffle? (That's waffle, for those of you that don't speak WeeBee.) Ohhh, fuffle and butter!
Mommy: Ok, let Mommy put Lowly in her swing, and I'll get you milk and a waffle.
WeeBee: Oh, ok! Milllllk! Fuffle! Thomas! James! Henry! Thomas, where aaarrrree youuuuuuuu? Where's Thomas? Fuffle?
I can't really complain, since I watched the videos over and over again as a kid, and I still remember the day I got my first Thomas train. Granted, I still haven't gotten over the fact that Ringo Starr no longer narrates the stories, or that they've switched to computer animation. But all this time I had no idea that there were words to the Thomas theme song, until last night when I put on some random episode thanks to Netflix, in the hope of calming WeeBee down before bedtime. It's not the newer one that they sing at the beginning of the current episodes, "They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight," (thanks for making my kid think that's how you count - that's a rant for another day,) but the original one. Something about "Thomas the Tank Engine rolling along." It's part of Thomas' First Music Video, but you try typing that into youtube. I'll save you the trouble - all you get is fan videos. If I ever find it I'll post the link - the little children's voices are only mildly creepy, and it's good for a laugh.
I have to go now, because WeeBee is at my elbow trying to hand me "nose gunkies." Judging by the way he's giggling I don't think there's anything there, but I'd better distract him...
