This past Saturday was Day out with Thomas Day but this post isn't describing the great fun the boys had riding Thomas, having their photo taken with Sir Topham Hat, riding ponies and seeing all sorts of neat Thomas stuff.
No, it is based on what I was thinking as we stood in line with hundreds of other kids and parents who paid $18 per person for a 20 minute train ride.
The question is what happens to the male once he has children? He will do things that a few years earlier he would never consider. He'll trade-in his corvette for a minivan. He'll be willing to lug around a combination of diaper bags, back packs and camera bags when previously he would be afraid to even carry the smallest of accessories out of fear of not looking cool. He'll have conversations on topics such as poop, potty training, and Little Einsteins versus Wonder Pets. He knows the words to all the Wiggles songs and the programming schedule of Noggin. He'll pay money to go see Elmo in concert and even buy a program to remember the event.
I don't know what causes this change but I know at the end of the day when I hear "Daddy, I had a good time with you today." I wouldn't change a thing..
