My name is Trish and my son Garrett "LOVES" Thomas. He started playing with Thomas before he was 2 years old. On his 2nd birthday daddy and poppy build him a Thomas the train table. It is two times the size of the ones you buy from the store. It takes up almost half of the playroom.
We just got back around the middle of September from Pa. where we went to see A Day Out With Thomas. It did not start until 9:00am that morning, but Garrett was up and ready to go by 7:00am. We got there by 8:30 and walked around, and we got to watch them clean and get Thomas ready for the day. My son thought that was the coolest thing ever. He is still talking about his day out with Thomas as though it was the other day. A few of his friends have already stopped playing with Thomas, but Garrett says not me. He says, I will always play with Thomas.
We were in PA this Sept as well... My son, Sam, has been obsessed for at least a year and a half now. He has been talking about "Big Thomas" ever since we saw him in Sept. And everynight when I put him to bed...when I ask what he's going to dream about...It's always "Big Thomas!"
i am in california and i hear the day out with thomas w/ sir topham hat comes here as well. ironically here in the valley there is actually a street named topham named especially for the mass transit train. i just connected that.
anyway we call my son buddy, it is his nickname but he insists it is his real name. he is developing a little slowly, my husband did too evidently and he is catching up quick. he knows all the names of all the trains.
instead of pulling coal, he said henry (?) is pulling cold. very cute.
