Best day ever
I took Nicky to ride Thomas the Tank Engine at the Snoqualmie Train Museum. Well, it wasn't really Thomas, but they had a fake engine, which was really a caboose, done up to look like Thomas.

If you aren't hip to the preschool set, you have no idea what I'm talking about. If you are, then you know what a commercial juggernaut Thomas trains are. Don't try to fight it. Just fork over your credit card and buy everything Thomas. Well, I managed to avoid it because the onsite markup for Thomas gear was ridiculous. I did buy a great t-shirt for Nicky, though.

I also got to meet Sir Topham Hat. It wasn't just a guy dressed like him, either, but more of a mascot-looking guy all puffed out. Unfortunately, he didn't talk, or I would've hit him up for a job. Nicky was a little spooked by him and I couldn't get him to stand closer than 5 feet away from him.

Nicky is really great to be around. He's imaginative, empathetic, and polite. I didn't want to be anywhere else.
