Christmas came early for Luke. Yesterday Ammy and PawPaw surprised him with his very own Thomas table with tons of tracks, engines, destinations, and accessories. I was speechless. This is truly Luke's dream come true. Lately we've been going to Barnes & Noble at least three times a week for hours at a time so he can play with the Thomas table there. Any time we get in the car lately, he starts saying, "Thomas store" over and over again. Now, he has his very own Thomas store at home. He got to play with it a little bit last night and cried when we told him he had to go to bed. He went to bed with two of the little train engines. This morning, he remembered and ran into the living room and basically played there until nap time. He couldn't be bothered to eat breakfast, but took a short break for lunch. I guess his hunger finally got to him.
Last night when he got to see the table for the first time, he immediately started picking up as many engines as he could because that is what he does at B&N. He hoards them until other kids come around and I make him share. We had to remind him that this is his table and he doesn't have to hoard them. Lily and Shauna were over at the time. Maybe Luke thought Lily was going to compete with him for the engines. Don't worry, we'll still make sure Luke shares anytime we have friends over. Actually, lately, we've gone to B&N so many times, he says, "Thomas store, share with friends" because that is what we tell him he has to do if he is going to play there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Ammy and PawPaw! You have one happy grandson.
