Oh my, but N is obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine. I think it started when we were out toy shopping and he found the books with buttons to push to make sounds. He got his hands on a Thomas book, and N would not put it down. He played with it for most of that day, and still plays with it every day at some point. Then, while packing our office stuff to move it to the basement, N came across the box with left-over valentine cards. I happened to have picked Thomas cards. He wouldn't put the box down. He carried it all over the house, and even had to take it to daycare one day.
Move ahead to last week. We went to Costco and they had a pack with 2 Thomas DVDs and a couple of trains. N got very excited and wouldn't put them down. So we opened up the box there, and happily continued our shopping while he played with the trains... until we got to the checkout and he let out a scream when the woman tried to take the box to scan it in.
When we got home, I took the DVDs out of the box and hid them away for later. Didn't bother N any. He was quite happy to look at the box. On the back were the photos of all the Thomas DVDs available. He carried that around the house for the rest of the night.
And the trains... Well, they go everywhere.
Where did this come from? He only has the one book, he's only seen the show twice (and one of those times was for about 5 minutes). Oh well, as far as kid obsessions go, it's not a bad one I guess....

That's great. And you're right, it's a lot better than one boy I know who was obsessed with Blossom. Blossom? Why Blossom? Who knows.
