Thomas who?

Okay, it isn't quite that serious. He is still somewhat fixated on Thomas the Tank Engine, but his attention has been far more geared towards Bob the Builder as of late. I can see how parenting can become a very expensive hobby. We've been awfully careful not to start spending oodles of money, or even odles of money (seeing as we mostly just have les at the present) but we have bought him a magnetic sticker set with a Bob the Builder theme (bringing our grand total of contributions to the Bob the Builder empire to nearly ten dollars). Now the creator of Bob the Builder (I think his name is Bill the Millionare) can use our ten dollars to go get a fancy drink at Starbucks.
We had spent about forty dollars on Thomas the Tank Engine merchandise prior to Elliot's newest fascination.
Looking for birthday ideas for Elliot? I can temporarily declare that Bob the Builder (or anything to do with diggers, excavators, bulldozers and dumptrucks) would do the trick. Or you can try to guess what new commercial product will sweep him off his feet next. Hopefully not IPods and Playstations.
