Tiger Woods, Go Cocks, Daddymama

These are his favorite sayings today. He gets going really fast and they all kind of go together....it's a little bit funny.

Daddy home?

I bet you can't guess how many times I hear that every day? It used to be cute!

Cutie pie

I love this picture.....we rode the train at the zoo about a week or so ago and I took this pic with my phone. Thomas is talking like crazy these days.....he repeats everything we say! Gotta be careful now :-)

A New Babysitter

Our excellent, wonderful, oh so fantastic babysitter's last day was Monday. She is starting her student teaching and will have a baby in November. Alas, that means Thomas has to have a new babysitter and I have to adjust to someone new. Our new babysitter started today. They seemed to do fine and Thomas came home with only one skinned knee for their efforts! We'll see what Friday brings :-)

Dear neighbors, you may not know.

Dear Neighbors,

You may not know, but we have a son who is not quite 2. You may not know much of what that means, but one thing you should know is that he takes a nap every afternoon. He's not a great sleeper and it has to be very very quiet for him to nap well. We have a sound machine to help, but it doesn't block out everything. We're not sure why you feel the need to yell in all of your communication, but it would be great if between 2:00 and 4:00 you moved yourself away from his window. You may not know just how obnoxious it is when you don't.

You may not know that he starts preschool soon and we're adjusting his schedule. He's having a hard time and is a little bit sleep deprived. Because of that, it's really important that he naps as long as possible. You may not know, but one hour just doesn't do it for him or for us. I wonder if we bring him to you whiny and clingy you may know. You may not know, but today his very bad nap is your fault.

So neighbors, you may not know, but we're not big fans of yours right now.

Be quiet!

Sincerely,

The parents of a cranky toddler

A Couple of cute ones!

Every night, as a part of the bedtime routine, Thomas puts away the toys, gets mostly undressed, and then we go "into the bathroom" to brush teeth. This begins the game of "I've escaped!"




After the Kickball emergency room visit, Grandmommy, Granddaddy, and Daddy drove back to Florida. Along the way they stopped for dinner and they couldn't resist the roadside tractor vendor. When Daddy got back home, he put the tractor out for Thomas to find in the morning. We think he liked it.

New pics of cute boys

We had a great time at my high school reunion. It was nice to see so many familiar faces!
Cousin Drew also stayed at Gammy and Pop's house for the weekend. Thomas loved loved loved hanging out with him!

Kickball is no joke

So Thomas engaged his Grandmommy in a little game of kickball this morning. 6 stitches later, we know that kickball is dangerous. Nope - the wee one doesn't have stitches, but Grandmommy spent a few hours in the ER today and has an outstanding black eye to show for her efforts.
