You know your children have been watching too much Thomas the Train...

when...

Sammy tells Caleb on the van ride home from church that his "secret name" is Thomas James.

when...

Sammy wants to name her baby sister Emily...after a girl engine from Thomas and friends.

when...

Sammy says while playing with her dolls and stuffed animals, and I quote: "Look at this baby. His name is Bubba. He's a really useful child."

useful! THAT IS AWESOME!
And Emily is 5 letters and would work well in the Bingo song!
so there you go! It's settled! (by the way, I tried singing the Bingo song in my head with spelling Emily and I kept getting it wrong! How do YOU know YOU"RE pregnant? When you can't spell Emily because you keep missing the I! OH, brother!)

How cute! It goes to show how impressionable children are to what they hear, see, & experience! Imitating Thomas the Train is very innocent. All kids & for that matter adults imitate something or someone whether they realize it or not. God should ultimately be who we imitate. Parents, grandparents, & others are role models. Unfortunately most kids look to Hollywood or sport figures as role models.
