Thomas loves Super Why

I was excited to find Super Why was available to stream on Netflix, since our TV's arent hooked up to cable or anything, but it IS wi-fi inabled (and the one in the toy room is hooked up to the PS3).  

In the show Super Why (on PBS) the super reader kids solve "super big problems" by flying into books, and learning how the problem was solved in the story, which is usually a classic fairy tale.

Each character has a power - Alpha Pig, has alphabet powers.  Wonder Red, has word power (rhyming).  Princess Pea, has spelling power.  And Super Why has the power to read - and he can "change the story and save the day". 

We have been watching 4 episodes over and over.  Jack and the Bean Stalk, Princess and the Pea, The Three Little Pigs, and Little Red Riding Hood.   In the 3 Little Pig's story they track down the big bad wolf, and ask him why he is being bad, and as with all the storys he says "I can't help it.  It's in my story."  So Super Why changes the story by making him the GOOD wolf.

Anyway- so today at  lunch Thomas was being very noisey.  I told him he needed to be quiet.  And he replied "I can't be quiet.  It's in my story".

Two can play at that game little man - so now Tyson and I are going to write a Thomas story, and then Super Why can change it, so that he is QUIET.  and this could work for anything really... he eats his dinner, he uses his napkin, he doesn't fuss when we ask him to do something, he keeps his hands to himself,  goes to bed on time :)
