Thomas

Total flirt.
Smiles at all the pretty girls. And they smile back.
Very patient when some other child takes his toy.
Very impatient when he is trying to do something and can’t get it to work.

Thomas’ favorite words:

• Yeah
• dis! (this)
• dat! (that)
• dere! (there, generally accompanied by index finger jabbing his high chair tray)
  
• moo (a cow)
• ni ni ni ni ni ni ni (accompanied by wagging finger)
• all done

Thomas loves to:

• Really draw. I mean, he puts marks on paper and doesn’t get hungry for crayons for at least 5 minutes or so.
• Rub his face in my hair. Unbeliveably cute, except for the fact that he has had a runny nose for about a month.
• Shove the drumsticks under the couch and take them out again. Unless he can't. In which case, he gets really mad.
• Press buttons in the elevator. Oh, Lord. Does he ever.
• Use the key card to open the door to the playroom.
• Sit down and look at his books—particularly the ones with flaps.
• Blow his nose. Yes, he really does it. OK, we hold the Kleenex, but still-he blows.
• Fling food off his fork.
  
• Dance while shaking his hips from side to side. Yes, it's true: against all odds, the boy has rhythm. Or at least thinks he does.
