With today being Father's Day, I was thinking back to the times I would spend with my son watching Thomas the Train. I never was a huge fan of the show, but after all, it wasn't for me. My son absolutely loves Thomas and Friends, though, and that means that we've spent a lot of time watching the show.
And it doesn't end with the show. We also seem to have collected a way-to-big collection of Thomas the Train books. But of course, those books have been a great way to spend quality time together at the end of the day. My son has always enjoyed a good book at bedtime, and many times it was Thomas the Tank Engine books that helped finish the day.
As much as the whining of those trains drives me crazy, and as predictable as every episode is (Thomas messes up, he gets in trouble, then saves the day) I will always have fond memories of Thomas the Train and spending time with my son.
The time goes by too fast, and before long kids are moving on to do things all on their own. So with today being Father's Day, I'll take some time to appreciate the time I've spent with my son doing all of the things he enjoys, including watching and reading Thomas the Train.
