This weekend was such a blast! Last month Emily told me about a Day out with Thomas. My aunt had touted this outing since she had taken my cousin twice during his Thomas phase. Seeing that Preston gets as ga-ga over Thomas as I do Patrick Dempsey in scrubs, I thought what the hay-let's go! We first met up at Emily and Devon's house on Saturday for a sleepover. Emily was my first friend from POLP! We always try to get together twice a year and I really wish we lived closer because the boys get along so great! Seamus will be three in July so he and Preston are five months apart. Preston was also very into Grace (who is absolutely precious I might add). Grace is Seamus' little sister who is sixteen months. The power of peer pressure also worked as this weekend Preston went pee-pee on the potty! Seamus has the Baby Bjorn potty. Devon and Emily were told in Delaware that achon kids feel more secure learning to toilet with their feet on the floor and this potty chair is great for that. Well Preston was so proud of himself!Sunday morning the boys were decked in their Thomas finery and off to North Creek with Emily's parents we went. The boys were fascinated with "Big Thomas." Preston was in no mood to take pictures and was a big sourpuss and ruined them all (just kidding).
The train ride was really cute-about twenty minutes, just long enough to hold their interest. Not long enough to hold off Preston's appetite and thank God Emily had goldfish packed in her bag before he morphed into mutant child. They also had their pictures taken with Sir Topham Hatt who Preston was a little unsure of, but Seamus ate it up! They were also very happy with their Thomas tattoos that they got on their hands. Here is Preston in his conductor hat. It was mighty big because I had to buy an adult size since the child one did not fit :-)
It was a really great weekend. Seamus is having his tonsils and adenoids removed on Thursday so let's all keep him in our thoughts that he bounces back into his big boy self in no time!

Love, love, love the pictures - What a fun adventure! Seamus and Preston are too cute together - I love the pic of them in front of the train. Preston appears very proud of his tatoo! And yeah for Preston for going potty on the potty chair!

So glad that you had a great time on your trip. Andrea keeps waving at the screen." Hello Thomas, hello. I am over here" If she only knew that it was just a picture.
Looks familiar :) I'm so glad you had fun. Preston is such a cutie. It's so nice you are able to get together with a family closer to you. Of course we are all jealous that we are not closer :) I think when we went to Thomas Days here it was so hard to get a picture of Will actually looking at me rather then the train :) Thanks for sharing the cute photos!
Toot toot! How exciting to actually meet "THE" Thomas! Cole is still too young to know about this phenomenom, but I worked at a daycare in college, so I know all about the fascination! How exciting!!!! Preston is so cute in his conductor hat. I'm so jealous that you have a family so close to you!!
Kim,
I love the photos of Preston with Thomas. I'll have to get that Baby Bjorn potty in a couple of years. It is funny that you wrote that, because I was at an LPA picnic this weekend, and they were saying that a lot of LPs have their "firsts" at LPA events -- especially going to the potty. It helps to have LP adults around to show them how sometimes.
We had such a great time! If you even knew how many times Seamus has watched the photo slideshow since yesterday..."More Thomas! More Topham Hatt! More Pesston!!" So glad you guys came, it was a great trip.
How Cool Is that talk about a good weekend, not only for Preston seeing thomas but for you as well knowing that Preston went on the potty. Im so jelous I wish Jaden would but i Think he feels it's uncomfertable having to clim on the toilet like a little frog, which is what he has done like 2 x but no potty in the potty:( But im so proud Of preston he is such a BIG Boy Now. We missed our Visit with Thomas This year so Im plannig for sure next year. And if he Loves Trains If your going to Confrence In Detroit Make sure you go to Greenfield Villiage. he will love it.
Keep us Posted
I'v always wanted to do this with my boys...one day...Looks like a fun day! And Go Preston for using the big boy potty!
Too cute! Glad the boys had a wonderful time! Thomas use to rule in my house...now it's only a matter of time!
"He's a really useful engine you know...."
What adorable pics! Where was this Day Out with Thomas because my nephew is still into it and I think my sister might want to take him to this. As always, great blog!
