6 am

for some reason, mr max wellington chose to wake up at 6 this morning. he hasn't done that in a long time...now the dillema, should WE get up or should he read in his room til WE are ready to start the day. today we gave him his little DVD player....we NEVER do that....we just wanted more sleep...he has been watching thomas in bed with us for awhile and talking about how terrific trains are....it's times like these that i am so thrilled to simply know him....i wish i had my camera...what a sweetpea. 

he really loves thomas...i never wanted him to love thomas per se, but trains of other sorts were fine. i just feel like that commercialism and the fact that it is NOT a cheap hobby made thomas really undesirable. being unable to control his grandparents, he now owns most of  the thomas videos and trains. i find myself buying him the trains too...when they really love something...whether it's trains, dinosaurs, cars, etc..it's really tough not to indulge that....especially when you love someone so much....
