Ta Ta!!

Erik has a new love for Thomas the Tank Engine.  He can't actually say Thomas so he calls him Ta-Ta, and with enthusiasm as in TA TA!!!!!
Nothing like walking through Target (where many Thomas items exist, seriously he spotted Thomas on toothpaste) with your son yelling TA TA's! at the top of his lungs and then madly laughing.
Men snicker, women giggle.  It reminds me of my little brother who substituted his F's for his T's when he was little and he really REALLY liked trucks.  Mom had to stop taking him to the store until he could pronounce his T's.  I'll be sure not to take Erik to Hooter's any time soon.
