It’s things I love Thursday at The Diaper Diaries! Today I’m raving about a new DVD I just got to review. As some of you may know from reading Mommin’ It Up, my son Joshua is QUITE the Thomas the Tank Engine fan, and he has turned his little sister into one as well!  So they were very excited to get the newest Thomas DVD, Railway Friends, to review. We ripped it right open and popped it in the DVD player to watch.

Right away, my son Joshua said, “This is different!” – and he was right.  Railway Friends is the first Thomas DVD enhanced with CGI animation – so now the engines faces and mouths move when they talk, and Sir Topham Hatt walks around instead of just standing there with one arm raised.  It takes some getting used to (if you’re a four-year-old boy, that is) and through the whole first story Joshua exclaimed with wonder every time one of the engines talked.  But, after he got past the initial SHOCK, he really enjoyed the show, and Sophie did too.  She loves Thomas unconditionally.

Railway Friends, like all the other Thomas DVDs, has great stories about friendship, loyalty, and (one of my favorite topics) learning from your mistakes.  Thomas is one of the videos that Bobby & I really enjoy watching with our kids, and this video does not disappoint!  It also has some fun games on the bonus features that Joshua really likes to play.

If you’ve got a Thomas fan or two in the family, this video is really a winner! It just came out this past Tuesday, and you can find it at mass retailers for $14.98, or at Amazon for only $7,49! Choo! Choo!
