Thomas' really busy week

Here is what his week is like. For a 15 month old, he is a really, REALLY, busy boy. Definitely on the higher end of busy bodies. btw, this is such a cute age, I mean disgustingly cute. He is so cute that William and I just want to squeeze him all day, but he hates being restrained. It is ridiculous how often we refer to cute things he has done or look at his picture and videos after he has gone to sleep. We are completely lovestruck parents! It is true that in becoming a parent, you lose a lot of freedom, but what you gain is more than words can describe. Absolutely nothing can replace it.
Anyways, here's a sampling...

He helps me vacuum almost every day.
He checks his email and plays some computer games.
He showed his grandparents how well he types on the computer.
Waters all of his little pots on the patio.
He shared his bus toy with his friend Haley.
Although - there was a highly questionable exchange that mommy caught on film...
Another thing he learned from his friend Haley.


Got to check out his friend, Kiera's doodle desk. She was so nice to share with Thomas!
Helped with the laundry, sort of...
Taste tested his first ice cream cone and found it pleasing. Maybe mommy will even let him eat the ice cream on his second birthday...
Hung out with daddy on sunday afternoon.

And joined the world of YouTube! http://www.youtube.com/scsiclips

At the car wash

Today we let him help daddy wash the car. He had loads of fun getting himself soaking wet. He didn't even care that it was splashing his face.

And miles to go before i sleep, And miles to go before i sleep.

Oh wonderful sleep.... you never get it back once you have a baby! unless you are one of the lucky ones that gets a baby that sleeps 4+ hrs right from birth. even with thomas sleeping 10 hrs a night, i find myself waking up after 5 hours in bed. sometimes when i am lucky, i can go back to sleep for an hour or two. other times, it is hopeless and i just can't get back to sleep. sometimes, i long for those lazy saturdays when we could sleep in until 9 or 10 if we wanted to. that sounds like such a luxury! but then they flash that BIG, beautiful, emoticon :D smile at you and all thoughts of sleep disappear (or at least you lay there, trying to convince him to lay still next to you for 5 more minutes). ha ha...

in response to the first video, johnny said, "what? thomas has a girlfriend already?" and then she grabs his cheeks and johnny said, "see, i told you! girlfriend!"

thanks listgirl! i love the pic of william and thomas too. it's become my favorite and is on anything i can put a background on :) but i admit i played with the brightness and contrast a little on the pic, so it is not exactly as i took it.

and YES - thomas has a girlfriend! :D everytime he sees her a church now he goes over to her and wants to give her a big hug. it is SO CUTE! like i said, grossly, crushably CUTE!

What was questionable about that exchange? I couldn't tell from the pic.

I so hear you about the sleep thing. Nowadays, I get up at 6:30 almost every day. That would've been totally inconceivable 5 years ago.

ha ha... haley was passing him what appeared to be an animal cracker (for anyone who wants magnification, click on the pic), but it could have been a questionable substance... at a shady window in the bad part of town :)
