Introducing… Elliot and Winston!

Born April 2012 and May 2015

Day out with Elliot!

We had a choo choo weekend! Gingy, Marm, Elliot, and I went to Wartrace on Saturday for a model train show.

There were a lot of really neat model trains and Elliot was very good about not touching the displays and just observing.

 

We went to the “Day out with Thomas” event in Chattanooga today, which had a real life size Thomas!

Elliot and Gingy hurry to see Thomas!

Elliot had just woken up from his nap so he lacked enthusiasm at first.

As we waited in line to board the train he started to perk up.

It’s a me, Elliot!

Logan and Elliot found this at Toys R Us earlier this week.

Today we went back to Toys R Us with a 20% off coupon! That is pretty much the only reason why Elliot did not have a Mario Kart all week.

He actually can drive it pretty well.

THOMAS! FRIENDS!

A few weeks ago, Logan and I took Elliot to the Barnes & Noble bookstore. Elliot likes to play with the Thomas the Tank engine table they have set up there, even though we have one at home! Theirs is wood, and until recently ours was the plastic and metal take and play set, so there are some differences, but still. Anyways, Elliot thoroughly enjoyed the trains but eventually decided started to wander from the table. We noticed he had a dirty diaper and decided that that was our cue to leave. We took Elliot out to the car and changed him in the hatchback. Logan went to throw away the diaper and I took Elliot to his seat. That was when he noticed we were officially leaving the store and he was not too happy about that. In fact, I’d say he had an all out 2 year old temper tantrum, ballistic style! He screamed “THOMAS! FRIENDS!” at me while I buckled him, and while I don’t usually laugh at my son when he cries, this time he was sooo ridiculous I just couldn’t help myself.

Whoa!

Big thanks to Grandpa for taking the video footage!

Today you went to the doctor. You had to get one shot and you did very well! You even said “Thank you people!” as the nurse was leaving the room after your shot. You were brave AND polite!
