Jackson is giving up is Thomas addiction. I think it is harder on me than it is on him! Tonight before bed I was going through books on his bookshelf and dividing them into the ones to keep on his bookshelf, ones to give to Kate and ones to donate. I soon found out that I had to make a fourth pile - Thomas books. I asked him if I should keep them on his shelf. He said no. I asked him if he was sure - he might still want to read them - he said no. These are the books that he used to teach himself how to read. He knew all of the trains names and how to read them because they are written underneath the train. When we would read any of his millions of Thomas books, he would read the trains names, and from there he just kept on going. He was reading fluently by the time he was 4 1/2. So, sadly, I made a pile of Thomas books. I will pack them away in case one day we have another little boy who is in love with that little blue engine. Jackson is on to bigger and better things right now - Legos and Star Wars.
I still haven't downloaded the Christmas pics from my camera. Hopefully in the next few days.

PS - The photo is from last Christmas. It is Jackson in the Thomas Wheels and Whistle Sofa that Santa just HAD to bring!
