We picked up mini-Thomas surprise bags before we left the UK, thinking they may be good on the plane.

Instead, they have turned into CJ’s most prized possession. He now has a collection of them and he takes them everywhere. They are his favourite toys and he is desperate to get more.

It’s cute to see him playing with them. Zooming them down ramps, under domino towers and around the floor.

S1 has worked out the mystery bags actually have unique codes on them, so she’s become the crazy lady at the toy store digging through the box to find the ones he doesn’t have. It’s funny what you do for kids.
