Migraines, stomach viruses and migraines again have laid us all out over the week or so, very bad string of luck we’re having here! Monkey missed 2 days of school this week due to illness and 1 due to an early release day. He is not the least bit upset by that!
He’s been filling his time with Curious George*, trains and computer games. The train play is quite cute. He’s having us build new tracks each time. He will play for a while then he tears it apart and puts it away. He seems to like having a new set up each time. It’s definitely more fun for me, he’s usually not a fan of experimentation but he let’s me get away with it on this. I We want more track, maybe Santa will bring me Monkey some.
We’ve also been watching some of the new Thomas episodes, the new CGI versions are definitely different. I’m not sure if they’re creepy or cool. Duhdee is not a huge fan, he keeps complaining that the people aren’t supposed to move. Progress is so hard on some of us.
*Since WHEN is the Man in the Yellow Hat called TED?? Did I miss that part of the book or did the movie just make that up?

the movie made it up
Heck it’s weird not seeing Mr. Conductor or any of the live cast that used to be on the Thomas when it was called Shining Time Station. It looks like in 2009 it’s going to be fully CGI
I’ve missed a few days of work myself…i feel like monkey
I’m not sure I’ve seen Thomas with the people moving! I like the original. Why would they mess with something that didn’t need to be changed?
