And a little update on Thomas too

Oh Thomas! There are no words! He is just so much fun and so cute. I really wish I could freeze the ages of both of my kids right now. 

 This little boy has a BIG personality. He is so funny, so charming and so sweet. You just can't get enough of him.

 Here he is pretending the street sign is a fire pole.

 Shortly after Papa Allred installed Thomas' new sandbox, I turned for a minute and found Thomas had stripped down to his undies and was diving in the sand. What a crazy kid!

 He loves to help his Papa. Clint had been doing lots of yard projects this fall and there wasn't much I could do to lure Thomas away from helping him. He'd tell me, "I can't play with you mama, Papa needs my help."

 He also loves watching "baseball" with Clint. Thomas refers to all sports as baseball, even though most of the time they are watching football.

 Some other funny tidbits and Thomasims:

• One day we were at the pharmacy standing in line and another mother was discipling her kids nearby. The mother said, " Who do you thinks in charge here?" Thomas yelled out, "Mama!"
• One day while entering a very messy room I said to Thomas, " Your room is looking very Junky." Thomas said, "Junky? That is a good name for a monkey!"
• Sometimes before bed will will say the Wee willy winkie nursery rhyme, to reinforce that past 8 children need to be sleeping. Thomas calls him Inkie the Winkie. We drove past the Salt Lake City County building, which is a very old build with clock towers. He said, "Hey! Isn't that Inkie the Winkie's house?" now whenever we drive downtown he looks for it. One night When clint was working I told him that nursery rhyme and went upstairs. A few minutes later Thomas runs up the stairs and said, "mom? Inkie the Winkie isn't real, right?" He was getting a little nervous about him!
• Thomas is really into telling Jokes. It is pretty funny. He will make up jokes, and re tell one he learns. His timing is sometimes really off and sometimes he tells the punchline before the jokes. Its hilarious. He is a little class clown, he tells me that he tells all his preschool friends his jokes. 
• Some of my favorite Thomas phrases, "Bye Bye! See you next time!" "Hello There" Hi-ya Pop" "Its a very nice day" 
• Thomas is still a pretty terrible eater- although now I can occasionally make him eat carrots by bribing him with dessert. And he recently started eating Mac and Cheese, which is huge! I swore before I had kids I wouldn't let them eat mac and cheese, and now I'm over the moon that he will eat it! 
• We love our little Mr. Man. My very favorite time of the day is early in the morning when he comes in the bed to snuggle with me. I am a big softy when it comes to my little man.
