Ryan here.
So the kids have been really into musicals lately. Beth's favorite is Annie. Every time Eric suggests turning on a Thomas the Tank Engine show, she vehemently counters with: "No, Annie!"
At night it's the same thing. We usually sing a song before we tuck the tykes in and Eric invariably wants "Thomas and His Friends" and Beth always asks for "Tomorrow". So we switch off every night, or we sing two songs.
Although I must admit Eric likes joining in when we sing "Tomorrow":
Beth isn't too bad either:
(In case you can't tell, she's singing, "Tomorrow, I love you, today").
Needless to say, it's fun to see the kids pursuing their interests, and particularly to watch Beth develop her own favorites.
Speaking of tucking in, one night we were putting Eric to bed and he told us repeatedly that he was scared of Diesel Ten, a villainous engine from the Thomas movie. Eric begged us to do something to keep Diesel Ten from "getting him."
Cassie suggested using her "mommy voice" on the naughty engine, and proceeded to shout at Diesel Ten, telling him to beat it (I can't imagine what the neighbors thought). When she turned back to Eric and asked, "Is that good?" He replied, "No, I think you need to use a bat and beat him up."

how cute, love the singing! glad that they are getting their interests. one thing though, did you ever get out the bat?! hehe
These are great! You need to burn them onto a DVD and send them to me so I can put them in my "wedding file" for your little darlings. :)
So funny! I thought for sure the "mommy voice" would do it! :-)
That song from Annie is one of "Grandpa's" favorite songs! We loved hearing Eric and Beth sing it! We love you guys!
