Speaking of trains. Have you seen Chuggington.

OMG DS will never watch Thomas again.  He is obsessed.  Clickity clack!

I think it's cute, but ds, eh, not a fan. He is weird with what he will watch. He absolutely LOVES the old Popeye cartoons and Betty Boop.

yup. PAC loves it. Which I'm glad for, because Thomas was deadly. Now, if I can get him away from the mickey mouse club and the hot dog song that always gets stuck in my head, I'd be a happy camper. Thanks, DH, for introducing him to that.

I haven't heard of it, but DS is OBSESSED with Dinosaur Train on PBS Kids. 

He doesn't know that Thomas is also a show..I am too afraid to go down that road.

I posted about this yesterday--we're now watching the same episode for the FIFTH time right now.  The kids love it.  We haven't watched Thomas since we discovered this show a week ago.  I don't know why it took us so long--it looks like it premiered last May?

we have Chuggington on DVR and he likes watching "choo choo".  DS is obsessed with Thomas DVD Hero of the Rails.

DH wants Disney to make Geotrax Chuggington like they did Cars.

It just was added to Disney's lineup on Jan 18, I think.  Unless they ran it for a while last summer (I wasn't a SAHM then). They had two weeks of commercials prior and DS was killing me..."is it the 18th yet?"  "is it next week yet"  "is it Monday yet?"  Ugh.

YES!  I thought Alex was going to drive me insane asking every.single.day if Chuggington was on yet.  And he loves it... we have thm saved to the dvr and he watches them all the time.  No more Thomas for us either. 

(except for the worst Thomas movie ever - Thomas and the Magic Railroad. It has one of the Baldwin brothers in it and it is the worst acting!)

Yes Chuggington just premiered on Disney on January 18th, and we watch it over and over every.single.day!!!  It has almost completely replaced Thomas and Dinosaur Train, I actually have to tell him we are going to watch something else.  Chuggachuggachugga, chuggachuggachugga, CHUGGINTON!!

eshaffer

It's traintastic!  LOL.  Yes- we watch it, several times a day.
