From the time Tyler was 20 months old, until somewhere before kindergarten, he ate, breathed, and lived Thomas the Tank Engine. We have so many Thomas trains that we could put him through private school for a few months with the money they cost. We have 20 or more VHS and dvds, too. I will never get rid of the Thomas trains, but I have been encouraging him to do through the movies for the clothing sale. He was looking through them today and found his very favorite Thomas movie, A Day Out With Thomas. I think he watched it 500 times during the Thomas years. I dusted off the VCR (literally) and put it in. He, with his big ol' almost 8 year old self, sat and watched every second of it. He remembered every word. It was kind of comforting to hear that music in the background as I did housework. Just like the good old days. He didn't cry for me to rewind it like he used to. He just got up and looked up Power Rangers on the DVR.

The amount of money that is spent on this stuff! The girls are now playing with my old Barbies though so at least they are getting some more use out of them.
They are growing up so quickly!
A few months ago, I finally got Ainsley to "pass along" all of her Dora toys. She doesn't watch Dora anymore...or play with the toys...but when it came to passing them along, she was a little hesitant.
Also...not sure if you have been following any Griz news but did you see that Marc Gasol (a new player for the Griz/Pau's brother) has taken Mike's number? (#33)
