Last night the three of us gathered in Elliott's room for some family play time (awww). Elliott's really nice wooden Thomas train track is supposed to make an hourglass shape. Doug and other assorted males have been the only ones in the past to figure it out, and usually that was with the help of the diagram -- the diagram that is temporarily misplaced following the move. But Doug was determined to make it work. But simultaneously, Elliott was determined not to have Thomas, the Boxcar, the Caboose, and Baby Thomas interrupted from their work. And when the track would be disrupted, Thomas and friends would simply go offroad until they fell over, causing a hissy fit from their conductor. I tried to reach in and play with Thomas a time or two, but my efforts were met with "MINE! I bought it at WAL-MART!" My hysterical laughter ensued.
Daddy never did triumph as track engineer, refusing to accept his defeat by claiming that there were pieces missing. What a whiner.

coming from a lego freak and engineer........not having all the pieces is a travesty and messes up the whole design!!! I used to get really pissed if I lost a critical lego.......
