I have succeeded in getting the kids hooked on They Might Be Giants' Flood (as previously discussed here). A side effect of this is that Edison now knows that he needs to make the CD player's display read "14" in order to hear how favorite tune, "Whistling in the Dark". But my favorite developments are Ana Tobin trying to sing along with "Istanbul (not Constantinople)" and the fact that Edison has identified which engines from the Thomas and Friends stories sing which songs. Apparently, Gordon sings "Whistling in the Dark", Bill and Ben (the twins) sing "They Might be Giants" and Henry sings "Road Movie to Berlin".
Trying to imagine what he sees in his head while he's imagining these engines singing these songs is heartwarming and very funny (to me). It's interesting to see how he fits things into his world, too.
