Thomas turns 2 years old!!

December 30th, 2015

At two years old Thomas keeps our laugh tanks filled up and is just a joy.  He is also mischievous and gets into everything and sometimes I think he is going to make me go lock myself in a closet. 

• If you want to see a little of what Thomas is like, watch the 1989 Steve Martin movie "Parenthood" and watch his son Justin.  If they remade the movie, I would audition Thomas for that part.
• He is my best eater.  He likes more things than all his brothers put together.   Thank God I got at least one like that.
• He is finally sleeping through almost every night.  He was past 18 months and still usually waking once, which was oh so lovely with another little guy wanting to eat and such.
• He still likes the pacifier, the soothie, which he calls "Blue," because his favorite is the blue one.
• His hair is crazy and I have to cut it fairly often or he starts to look like a wild man.
• He is pretty much potty trained at home.  He pretty much runs around naked at home all day.
• He loves to dance.
• He loves a good walk in the stroller and that is pretty much the only place he is chill.
• He loves cars and playing cars and the Blue Track we have for them.
• The first and last thing he does every day is find and talk to Zeke, who he calls "Zekey" or "Zekiel," which sounds like "Zekeo."
• He wants to be involved in the process of doing everything.  
• He likes to push literal buttons, turning the TV on and off when Jackson and Max are trying to watch.
• He is starting to put two word phrases together, which was a long time coming.  Pretty much he has been on the slow side of talking since the beginning.  
• That being said, he is super smart.  He will take a chair into the kitchen and put it in front of the fridge in order to climb up and get what he wants. 
• He is a messy eater.  Definitely likes to play/paint with his food and leave a trail wherever he goes.
• He loves our neighbor's dog, Olive and will call out her name incessantly if he can see her outside.  Better than the dog, he loves their daughter Genevieve.
