FReeper Canteen ~ Canteen Kids: Who's Your Favorite Engine? ~ Feb. 1, 2006

Loves The Troops! | Shorty Gigglelips

Hi!  My name is Shorty and I am 4 years old!
First I want to say thanks for trying to keep us safe to all the soldiers out there!

Today I want to talk about my favorite TV show,

Thomas the Tank Engine

The show is all about Thomas and his friends.
Some of their names are Gordon and Percy.

My favorite engine is Emily, because when I play with my Emily in the living room, her wheels go deep in the carpet and I can pretend it's snowing.  Here's a picture of Emily:

Emily is green and she doesn't have a number.  Instead she just has some squares.

Another engine is James.

He's my second favorite engine because he's red and red is a pretty color.  James is number 5. 

There's a new engine called Molly.

I don't know much about her yet except that she's yellow.

 

Here are some fun things you can do online with Thomas:

Play games and more at Thomas' site!

 Some printable activity sheets here!

 Lost of stuff to know about Thomas here!

I hope you like my thread.  I had fun telling you about my favorite TV show.

Who is YOUR favorite engine?

Hi!!

Oh, I forgot to post my favorite engine.

www.dogpile.com Or, maybe google, I don't know.

Oh, wait, we were talking about trains???? Hmm, since my kids are far past that stage I wouldn't know Thomas the Tank from Amtrak. ;o)

Hmm, since my kids are far past that stage I wouldn't know Thomas the Tank from Amtrak. ;o)

LOL me, too. Seems as though I remember "The Little Engine That Could." ;)

Morning, Star, cute thread!! We have an obscene amount of Thomas wooden trains, tracks etc. Last night, my boys had their very first swim lesson and Max (2 1/2), I found out after the lesson, had packed Diesel, so he could take a friend with him. Evan likes Edward and Henry.

How have you been? I have a question if anyone with kids reads this. My daughter will only drink milk out of a bottle. I buy the vitamin fortified juice which she drinks with no problem from sippy cups. I don't want to be giving her bottles much longer and am trying to give them for breakfast and before bed only, but obviously, I want to make sure she is getting enough of the "good stuff". Any suggestions as to how to get her to drink milk from the sippy cup without witholding fluids from her until she is so thirsty, she drinks? Or is that pretty much my only option? BTW, she doesn't like chocoalte milk, should I try flavored pediasure or things like that?

Go Steelers!!

We had that problem with Piper...I'm not sure she's drinking much milk even now. I'll have to ask...I know she has it with her cereal in the morning.

For awhile the kids were flavoring her milk with strawberry syrup...but she still didn't drink very much.

It's going ok E.G.C., how are you?
Hugs!

[trussell]

LOL...that is too funny!
Thank you for sharing

[HiJinx]

Oh, okay...the 'boxers or briefs' question is a lot older than I thought...!

[E.G.C.]

Well, it's going OK here. We're still crossing our fingers for rain.

Our fire danger is high but not as high as yesterday. The day to watch is Sunday for fire danger.

[trussell]

I'll say a prayer that there are no fires.
More hugs!

Morning, T!

Good morning, Ms. Feather

Hi WV!
How are you? That's funny. My daughter did the same thing. After I took her off the bottle she never cared for milk again. I let her have the bottle, just a few times a day for the milk, until almost 3. I didn't know what else to do. She still won't drink milk at 8, not even chocolate milk. She loved it as baby and younger toddler age. One day she just decided, I don't like this anymore. I don't know why. Good luck. I hope someone has a better response. :)

Good Morning Hijinx!
Glad Nana is doing so well. Send her the best from a fellow canteener. :)

Good Morning Trussell :)
