Last week we took the boys to Detroit...we stayed at a hotel with an indoor water park and the boys had so much fun! The next day we went to Greenfield Village to the "Day out with Thomas" event. The boys had a great time there too, from riding on Thomas the train to meeting Sir Topham Hatt. Levi enjoyed his first ride on Thomas and Caleb & Ethan loved yelling out "All aboard".
As many of you know Ethan is very afraid of characters at theme parks or mascots at sporting events. He loves to look at them, but then when it comes time to actually meet them he gets really scared and will cry if you get too close. While waiting in line to see Sir Topham Hatt we were prepping Ethan for the encounter, encouraging him to be brave. Now, Sir Topham Hatt is the most respected person and all the engines listen to him very carefully because he is the "Superintendent of the Railway". Ethan bravely walks up and smiles for a picture, then takes several steps back and says: "Hey Topham Hatt (that's right he drops the Sir off the most respected person on the Island of Sodor... ) do you know what my name is...Kookoo Head" and then proceeds to laugh. Kevin and I decided he is finally turning the corner on his fear :)
