Date Night

Wednesday I treated Porter to an extra special surprise...we went to the Colonial Center to see "Thomas and Friends" LIVE and on stage. He, like many little boys, is pretty addicted with these tiny trains, so I knew he would love seeing Thomas in person. The show didn't start until 7pm and I was a little worried he wouldn't be able to sit through the 90-minute show. But, he was good as gold...and kept asking me if we could stay! The arena was filled with little boys, and it was so much fun seeing them all dance and sing. We even ran into friends...new and old! It was a great night, and I certainly cherish these little "Mommy and Me" moments with Porter!

Of course, we didn't get too far before he noticed the snow cones. He was very good about holding it, and never spilled a drop! He also got to bring home a T-shirt; he had no problem correctly naming all the trains on his new shirt!

Porter's 2 favorites: Thomas and Percy!!!!!!

Thomas, Percy, Gordon, & James

Porter was all smiles during the show. And, when we left, a train just happened to be going through downtown Columbia. It blew its whistle and every boy coming out of the arena shouted "THOMAS!!!" Too cute!
