Big Wheel

We got Thomas a Big Wheel forever ago, but he has never been tall enough to actually pedal it.

He has grown a lot this year.......

You Get What You Give

Thomas and I were leaving the library to come back home. He was getting in his seat in the car and trying to buckle up. He was struggling, what with all the talking and messing around and not doing what I asked him to do.

In my best sing-song "I'm trying not to be frustrated" voice I say, "Not doing what I asked."

Without hesitation, in exactly the same sing-sing voice he answers, "Don't have 3 hands."

I helped him buckle and tried to hold in the giggles.

Stomp Stomp Stomp

Getting out of the car.......

Me: Thomas, did you feel that thing you stepped on?

Thomas: What was it?

Me: My toe....again.

Thomas: I didn't feel it, but I bet you did.



Tom breaks into laughter.......

And so it goes.

My Moves

Presented without explanation.....because there is none!

Wise Men aren't Practical

This month in Pre-K Thomas is learning about different holidays. He wanted to talk more about Christmas at dinner last night. I was explaining the visit from the 3 Wise Men. He interrupted my explanation and asked, "Was one of those gifts a crib?".

He was most concerned about why none of the adults thought to address the issue that the Baby Jesus was laying "in sticks". Tom tried to explain it was hay and there was a blanket, but you could tell from Thomas' face that he considered the whole thing one big adult fail. What on Earth did a baby need with myrrh, etc.? The child needed a crib!

Tis the season - hahahahahahaha!!!!!

A conversation

On the way home from school last week we were having a conversation about squirrels (don't ask):

Thomas: Well, we should let those squirrels dig in our flower boxes now there's nothing there.

Me: Yes that's true. But what if they get into a habit of digging there then when there are flowers they will just dig those up again.

Thomas: I guess one of us will have to stand at the door and scare them away over and over again.

Me: That sounds like a boring job. I don't think I want to do it.

Thomas (totally excited): I know!!!! We can GET A DOG. A dog will sit at the door every day and chase them away. Mommy, can we get a dog? Can we get a pet? Please?



Um. No. Just no.

The Grinch!

Santa was cool......but then there was the Grinch!
