As we all know, life is but a reflection of TV, and to prove it: Stone will now quite consistently inform someone when someone else is cross (with him). This is a reference to the reality of Thomas the Train, located on the island of Sodor. Quite often a main character is cross with effectively all of the other characters for all sorts of misbehavior and shenanigans. We look forward to many new versions of reality from TV soon ...
These days, should you ask Stone not to do something, or not give him something he asks for and thinks he needs ... you'll we see a rather dramatic reaction and then be told on. Such fun seeing all that visual and audio data be absorbed, analyzed and emulated in "real life" ... On the positive side, we've seen a significant increase and interest in being read to, preferably the author Dr. Seuss.
He also continues to enjoy assembly, destruction and reassembly of train track. In an few images (link here) you'll see that there is a section of lumps of track between him (the window) and the blue bridges, all he needed was some assistance in constructing the bases of the support towers, the rest was his doing. The current plan for elf fest decoration/toy strategy is to have the head giant elf build an all TV room encompassing train track - which - he has nearly done all by himself as I type.
He continues to warm to her, and will get closer and closer with each pass. Even so bold as to play on next to me while she was resting on my lap. I'm sure I'll be looking back fondly on the day that only one of them was mobile. So far his favorite activities include tickling her feet and trying to share food/monkey with her. A few kisses on the head have taken place, yet he is not quite up for pushing her in the stroller yet.
All are doing well and I'll get a few more updates soon as we prepare for winter-fest holiday season time, or christmas, as some celebrate.
