The summer ended Labor Day weekend in Newport taking a ride on a real engine. Thomas the Train came to visit the Newport train station and I saw him and rode Annie and Clarabel aka the passenger cars.
I adore Thomas and his friends. Some people would say I'm obsessed. I personally own over 100 trains; some the wooden, others plastic and even more engines that come in all shapes and sizes. My favorite pastime is playing at my train table and could sit there for hours. I watch episodes of the PBS hit series, "Thomas and Friends" before bedtime and can recite some of them word-for-word. I sing the tunes and even make up my own words to the theme song. I tell mommy every morning that I dreamt the last night about Percy, Thomas, Gordon or James.
I started going potty in July and was rewarded each time with a train adventure. Mommy and daddy really meant for it to be a fun experience with a train theme, but it turned into a Target or toy store run (by my choice) so now my collection is really impressive.
Summer went by quickly. We went to Cleveland early on, Newport over the 4th of July and then back again this past weekend. Spent lots of my free time outside this summer. Sometimes at the local beaches where we walked or played in the sand. In the neighborhood with my buddy Brady and his brother Charlie Barley at our playpark. I'm now big enough that I run around and go down the slides myself. I spent a lot of time next door. My cousins Sophie and Nicky have a trampoline so I sometimes do ring-around-the-rosie on it.
Other fun activities this summer included seeing my first two movies "Cars 2" and "Winnie the Pooh".
I best be going to bed as I'm off to pre-school tomorrow, still at the same daycare but now on the second floor in the big boys room.
