before there was diego, now it's thomas

no, i didn't replace aishi for these two boys - if you can call them that.

my kids are the ones who had a let's say, kiddie obsession with them. it all started with diego. kyle would throw a mini tantrum if he didn't see diego on tv. but here's the thing, he wakes up at around 830 or 9 and diego doesn't come on in nick junior until 930. so we had to distract him with other cartoons until he can watch diego in peace. heck, with the diego obsession, we even bought him a diego doll as a xmas present, which was by the way rewarded with a big smile. and did i mention keon was 100 times happier than he is when he saw that doll?

and then one day, it was all over with diego.

and thomas comes into the picture. i vaguely remember that when my brothers were still littler we were able to watch this and up to now it has been quite popular with my kids and their generation! and it even makes my dad super happy because the storyteller is ringo starr (of this band named the BEATLES no less!)

and now another obsession begins. we got the toys, the dvd and even watching in youtube every single day. and kyle has even taken to memorize the engine roll call. while keon, with limited speaking skills, is happily content with bouncing up and down when the credits roll. but during the show, i've got 2 behaved angles for around 20 mins. and the kids don't like being bothered while watching. but it does makes a good companion when we have to feed kyle.

oh, before diego and thomas, there was lightning mcqueen too and mater!!

hahaha
