coz he's sat there on watching his new Thomas DVD in his thomas pj's in his thomas slippers and thomas dressing gown with his post bath gorgeous blonde hair looking like a hollywood kid.

he is literally dead on his feet and keeps rubbing his eyes bt i cant bring myself to turn thomas off

My dd2 who is just 2 calls Thomas 'Momas', so every time I look at anything Thomas it makes me smile and think of her. Kids are cute sometimes aren't they.

but hes got nursery tomorrow and he's a fab sleeper (usually bed at 7.00 and wakes up around 7:30) but if he goes to bed late he wakes up later and hes gotta be up at 7 for nursery

hes also an absolute bugger if you wake him and he doesnt wake naturally and if he's tired

hence im being unreasonable

but hes so cute

get him to bed now then- just keep mental picture of cuteness in head.
Ps. is it just Thomas he is interested in or anything else aswell?
DD2 is also mad about Bob the Builder- I swear she should have been a boy. It is so hard to find any Bob or Thomas clothes for girls

ethanchristopher · 29/09/2008 19:27

he is thomas, scooby, night garden and fimbles obsessive!! (21mths old)

how olds your dd2?

its well cute cause at random intervals he starts shaking his arms and going CHOO CHOO then being all still and tired again

ethanchristopher - I get that with every age they are at, I think that second year is magical (my DS2 is 16 months and has me in stiches everyday)

but then again my 3 year is absolutely sweet to (he made me a cup of tea today out of mud and was so excited that I pretended to drink it)

Put the poor kid to bed!

lucyellensmum1 · 29/09/2008 19:41

Are you poking and prodding him and forcing him to watch? Is he getting irritable? If none of those apply, let him watch it - make him a warm drink and he will be a happy little chappy.

ethanchristopher · 29/09/2008 19:43

ive just put him to bed

there were tears when nasty mummy took thomas away but after a quick cuddle and a hair pull he's now asleep lol

i miss him

sorry ec- my dd2 is 2 (june) and dd1 is 4 (september)- programmes like bob, thomas, tweenies and night garden are rapidly becoming to babyish for my 30 year old 4 year old though- so I get enjoyment from dd2's face when she gets so excited about programmes- (she is mostly outvoted so delighted when one of her programmes comes on), clapping and waving her arms
