Here's whats going on with my little Tomboy:
*He just had his half birthday which I believe he was more excited about than his actual birthday. He keeps telling everyone about how he is 4 1/2 now.
*He loves to rhyme everything: "Winner winner, chicken dinner!" "You lost you lost you ate tomato sauce." "That's awesome as a dawsome!" "Later, Tater!" "Time for bed, Fred!"
*He has lots of love and affection for several inanimate objects. He will give his key a bath (soap and all). He will wrap his NASCAR in a blanket to put to sleep. He washes his beanie baby monkey's hair.
*He gets along with everyone. Whether it be an 8 year old girl or 2 year old boy, he plays well with whomever he is with! I don't know a kid who doesn't love Thomas. I couldn't say whether he gets along better with Matthew or Mary Beth. He seems to be the playmate who both of them want to play with.
*He loves to be babied. He talks in a baby voice a lot. He loves to be cuddled. This was a stark contrast to Matthew who was born thinking he was an adult.
*He is my child who can play by himself for hours. Again, a stark contrast to Matthew. He can be in his room and keep himself occupied for ever!
*He is my giggler. It is hard to picture Thomas without a huge smile on his face. Things crack him up easily. I love to hear him giggle!
*He has got a mischevious streak. He is starting to do things specifically to annoy Matthew. After Matthew has inflicted years of "torture" on Thomas, he is finally getting his revenge! I have to choke back the smiles!
*He and Matthew wear the same size clothes. I believe that Thomas will be bigger than Matthew one day.
*He is a daddy's boy to the maximum. He worships the ground that Bryon walks on. From the moment Daddy comes home, Thomas is glued to him.
*He wants to go out with whoever is going out. If someone is leaving the house, he wants to be a part of the action.
*Things don't scare Thomas too easily. He isn't scared of the water, the dark, thunder, lightening, snakes. He takes it all in stride.
*He gets strangely attached to things that we have no attachment to.
Matthew loves Alabama and Baylor football. Makes sense, right?
Thomas? He loves the Seattle Seahawks.
Why? We don't know.
NASCAR? No clue why he adores it so.
The color red? Who knows?
He wants to visit Seattle and talks about it constantly.
Just a few quirky things about my little guy!
*He is my laid back, happy, go with the flow, funny, beautiful boy who has blessed our lives so richly for four AND A HALF years!

Of course he loves the Seahawks because Shaun Alexander plays for them and red because of the Tide. Hello!? :) Love reading about your kids. It makes me look forward to all the fun things in store.
Shaun did start his love affair with the Seahawks. He cried his eye out when they didn't win the Super Bowl! He has a Shaun Alexander figurine on his dresser and a Seahawks pennant on the wall! (To go along with the 30 year old Alabama pennant, Baylor, and Illinois pennants.)
What a fun guy! I wish he and Philip (my four AND A HALF year-old) could get together...they'd have so much fun! I enjoy reading about all of them.
I'll tell you again....I'm a huge fan of Thomas!
The fact that he has a vintage Alabama pennant on his wall proves that he has superior intelligence and impeccable taste! I love reading all about your little ones--never a dull moment.
I understand....
I'm 40 1/3.
Yes, I think you captured the true Thomas here! I think his personality and mannerisms are so similar to Bryon! Love that Thomas!
Not being able to rhyme at age four is one of the early signs of a reading disorder...sorry, but I have been a bit obsessed withthat stuff this year!
