Minnie actually belongs to the girls, aka his babysitters. Every time we are over at their house, she was the one he would ask to play with. Last week they said Thomas could take her home. He was so excited, but understood (I hope) that he is just borrowing her. In the meantime, he is taking her everywhere and doing everything with her.
Here's a look at just one day in the life of Thomas and Minnie:
Starting out the morning with getting Minnie stuck in the "tunnel" (now, yes he has a girlie doll, but he treats her like any boy would! although he is very protective of her and particular about how close Bailey gets to her, makes sure she doesn't get dirty and brings her to me any time she falls down)
Off in the car to go a few places, Minnie was right there with him. Notice how he is helping her keep the sun out of her eyes.
Special trip to the donut shop! He "shared" milk with her and then put her on the next table so she wouldn't get dirty.
Went to the R's house for a haircut for me and playtime with his friends. Minnie did get left in the girlie room while he went through S's transformer collection.
Minnie & Thomas got to help me do the quick trip to the grocery store. Of course she had to come in, even though it was a quick trip.
He has Minnie with the horses reigns around her neck, then threw her so she could have a ride on the horsey. I don't think it worked quite like he wanted, but they were having fun.
Now it was time to take a real ride. They made a few laps and then went back to work in the playroom.
Thomas tapped all the nail in and now it was Minnie's turn to learn. He's helping her hold the hammer so she can do it.
Love this one. This is the one he didn't want to do for me the day before. He had said, "Once upon a time I will take a picture." I guess this was the time.
It was a nice full day for the two friends. I love how much he loves Minnie, but I will admit I do wish it was Mickey. As we were leaving one store I heard a dad comment to his wife about Minnie. Yes, it's Minnie, but at least it's not a Barbie. And the one picture that didn't get taken was Minnie and Thomas shopping for a shirt for Baby Brother. That's because Thomas was so busy shopping he didn't come when he was called and I thought I had lost him! Very scary moment! He had no idea. When he did come out he proudly showed me the dinosaur shirt he found for the baby. Sweet, yeah, but boy did he get a talking to! All in all it was a great day. Thomas will have to give Minnie back next week and I'm sure she'll be replaced by something new.
