Games with GG

GG was trying to teach Will to play patty cake, but he wasn't being a very good listener. So she leaned in closer to have a talk with him and he tried to take a bite out of her watch! I'm not kidding when I say that boy puts everything in his mouth!

I think Thomas was playing ring around the rosie, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm glad he's the only one that fell down!
And GG was happy to give him a helping hand up!

Good Driving Etiquette: by Will

Use your feet to drive the car ~ no wait, that would be considered BAD etiquette. Let's try again: Before entering an intersection, look to your right.
Then look to your left.
Look oncoming traffic right in the eye with an "I mean business" expression.
Finally, smile as BIG as you can! It will make everyone wonder what you're up to!

Some of the Names Thomas Knows:

Mommy, Daddy, Will, Sam, Honey, Pa Pa, G-Daddy, GG (Great-grandmother), Do Do (Hilary), Josh, Ben, Amy, Yuke (Luke), Joe, Gray, K (Kaitlin), Trey, Hudson, Abby (Allie), Cobe, Bi Jum, (Vi Jones, his bible school teacher), Baby Cake (Cate), Angie, Martha (Do do's dog)

Some of the Songs Thomas sings:

The ABC song, Twinkle Twinkle, Jesus Yoves Me, Jesus Yoves the Yittle Chinnnen (Children), Happy to You (Happy Birthday to You), My God is so Big, Lord's Army


I did my best to type the words how Thomas pronounces them. I can usually understand most of what he says. Instead of saying the letter "L" he uses a "Y" as in "I Yove You!". I'd like to video him during one of his talking spells, but when he sees the camera he clams up. Maybe one of these days!

And finally...................

"Will, want a prune??"
(By the way, Will did NOT want a prune so Thomas shoved the whole thing in his mouth!)Finger lickin' good!

Tow Truck??

Sam decided it would be fun to tie the wagon onto the back of the Escalade. He was right!Luke at the wheel, Thomas and Will in tow!Thomas stayed turned around so he could see where they were going.Luke did a great job driving, but...........
He did need some roadside assistance from Do do at one point!
And of course Thomas had to get out and check on things himself.
Will was happy to stay in the wagon and munch on a leaf.
Honey and Pa Pa with Will, Thomas and Luke. Of course Thomas is trying to escape, as usual!Honey and Pa Pa with Will and Luke. Who needs Thomas!!

Choo Choo Barn

Thomas calls his "Thomas the Train" tent a "Choo Choo Barn". I think it's because he got a "real" barn tent for Christmas so now any tent is a barn! Cousin Luke was over to play and the boys had a great time!Luke was able to enjoy being in the tent by himself (can you see him in the window?), but only for a few minutes!Because Thomas and Will were waiting patiently outside.Luke was glad to welcome them in to play with him!
Luke and Thomas ~ discussing politics.
Luke and Will ~ discussing how in the world Luke can lay with his legs like that!
Thomas and Luke checking the doors.
Luke left for a while but decided to join his cousins again.
Thomas tipping over the tent, ever so slowly.

Will was able to escape but things aren't looking too good for Luke.Looks like Luke was able to escape the "train wreck" after all! Thomas decided to hang out in the wreckage for a while!

Artist or Vandal??

Once again I forgot to close the bathroom door and you know who took the opportunity to create a masterpiece. His medium? A lovely shade of lipstick whose makers promise it to be "Color Stay Overtime". It's true. His canvas? The lid of the "big potty". The artist/vandal proudly posing next to his artwork. If you look closely and squint your eyes it kinda looks like he made a T and S, his initials.
Oh yeah, did I mention he applied the "Color Stay Overtime" on his own lips, too? Hopefully he painted his lips before he painted the toilet lid!

Since we were in the neighborhood, I had Thomas sit on the big potty. In the past 5 days he has been wearing a pull up and has only had 3 wet accidents!! We're still working on going #2 on the potty, though.
When he finishes he says, "Did you teeeee teeeee?" I guess that's what he's heard me ask so now he says it, too. This picture was taken right as he said the second "teeeee!"

The Many Faces of Will

"You've got to be kidding me. Not that camera, AGAIN!!!""This is what I think of having my picture taken AGAIN!!!" "Just in case you didn't see me the first time, I'll stick my tongue out AGAIN!!!"
"I know I'm supposed to say cheese, but I 'm going to growl instead.""Just kiddin'! I'll give you a cheesy smile."
"I'll even get a little closer to that camera so you can get a good shot of my big blue eyes and mouth full of teeth!"

Speed Bump??

Is it a speed bump? NO, it's a walking toy!! (see this picture). We bought it for Thomas about 2 years ago so he could push it around when he was learning how to walk. I'm not sure how it ended up outside and I'm REALLY not sure how it ended up under the Escalade!
Will was in his exersaucer and I was reading the newspaper when Thomas hit the "speed bump". I knew there was a problem because Thomas started yelling "need help"! Will sure does look concerned about his brother, doesn't he?

Ice Cream

The Blue Bell individual cup was just the right size for Thomas. And it looks like it was good to the last drop!
Will was pouting because all he got was a few pieces of his dad's waffle cone!

Another Relay for Life

Here are a few pictures from the Relay for Life in Grandmother and Granddaddy's town: Thomas had the best view of all ~ right on top of his cousin Kaitlin's shoulders!Will had to strain to see his big brother!

Guess what happens when you make a silly face instead of smiling sweetly........... Your mean Aunt Laura posts it on her blog!!!
A group of Native Americans came and preformed several dances for the crowd (Thomas is sitting in Kaitlin's lap).
This was a dance dedicated to the American flag.
Kaitlin had the opportunity to dance with the group ~ I think she had fun!
Thomas, on the other hand was happy to watch from the sidelines.
And Will enjoyed playing with the "caution" tape!
