Thomas the Frain

During a field trip to Barnes & Noble, Tony chose a Thomas the Train (or Thomas the Frain, as Tony pronounces it) play book. It's a book that comes with 12 miniature trains and a playmat, and it is a HIT. He plays on the mat for upwards of an hour, making up all sorts of little stories, and then puts the frains in their "beds" at night (as you see in the pictures). He carries the frains everywhere because they are small enough to put in his pockets. It's been a chore to keep track of all of them, but so far so good. Best $9.99 I've spent in a while!
