I’ve made a parenting mistake. Shocking, I know.
In the hospital, we tried everything to distract Ben while getting through hours of treatments. One thing was to bring up Thomas the Train website on my computer. It has videos and pictures of all the engines. This became one of Ben’s favorite activities.
Well, low and behold, my little Man remembers that Thomas can appear on mom’s computer. Lately, every time I get my computer out, he starts pointing at it and wanting Thomas.

I wouldn't consider that a mistake. I'd consider it a victory! It's nice to know you have that one thing he loves, and that it can calm him and distract him during those moments when you lose patience or need a couple minutes to collect yourself. Some people might look down on that sort of thing as an easy way out....but sometimes moms need an easy way out! :) Yay for Thomas!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! Definitely blame Thomas :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny! Why do they always want OUR computers and OUR phones? They have a million toys but they always want OURS! :)
ReplyDeleteHehe! We have exactly the same problem with Sophie. She's also a Thomas fanatic, think they would get on splendid! (minus the cross infection issue).
ReplyDeleteWord of caution, Sophie managed to get the computer to do things we didn't even know existed! It also took me 2 hours once to get the screen back to normal after she had shrunk it to the size of a stamp and managed to remove the tool bars completely so couldn't just 'zoom'.
Kids eh? :D

Does he pull keys off too? That's one of Nathan's favorite past-times. LOL
ReplyDeleteI say rock the Thomas episodes, and enjoy a cup of coffee :).
