Quoted & Noted

"No watch Shrek, watch Thomas!" screamed Connor.

The boy is definitely learning to voice his opinion. He's fallen in love with Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, but unfortunately for him, his brothers don't share his enthusiasm. So when the brothers are awake, there's very little Thomas. And poor sick fellow that he's been, Connor hasn't been awake much while they've been sleeping this week, so there's been very little Thomas at all. And would you believe, that the three-year old can name the trains in the series - almost ALL of them. Thomas (To-mas). Henry (Hun-ree). Gordon (Gor-ton). James. Percy. Emily (eM-a-lee). Molly. Rosie. Toby. And the list goes on, and on, and on, and on. Of course, before long I'm going to be cringing at the catch-phrases from the show that he's going to start repeating, things like "Cinders and ashes!" (when something goes wrong), and "You have caused confusion and delay!" (which is what the station master says when the trains have been bad). Josh is already using them, and he despises the show!
