We promised Garett that if he was able to potty train by the Fall, we'd take him to ride Thomas the Tank Engine when he chugged to the NC Transportation Museum and Railway in Spencer. He made good on his end of the deal, and so did we. Can't say if it was the pregnancy hormones, but when Garett first saw Thomas and shrieked with delight, I cried like a baby. There's simply nothing in the world better than seeing a child's dream come true.
"Thomas is #1!"
Garett was eager to share his last (clean) diaper with Sir Topham Hat for a needy baby on the Island of Sodor.
Trains, trains, trains and more trains...
Taking a ride on one of the last working roundhouse turntables in the nation.
When the big moment arrived and we boarded one of Thomas' passenger cars for a ride, Garett could hardly keep his eyes open. Too much fun for the little fella!
