i have just reprimanded him and yet, i am still taking photos. i think that confuses him sometimes. but from that little droop in his mouth, he understands that i am not happy.
yet, a second later, he makes sure i see right where the water puddle is. and he doesn't stop pointing until i clean it up.
i have been on craigslist a lot lately. trying to find certain items that i don't want to pay for new. sometimes i get tired of all the effort though, and just buy it. i am ready to buy an elmo doll. i have been having a really hard time finding a small plush elmo, with no electronics. i just want a soft, huggable elmo doll. but the one at nordstrom's is $20 for this little tiny 6" elmo. ridiculous.
i also want a tricycle with pedals... but none of them are small enough for thomas' short little legs. i went to walmart and didn't find anything there either. oh well... just have to wait for him to grow.
on another note, i was talking to my mom today. she reads my blog (hi MOM!) and she said ("don't take this wrong way, but i think you love thomas too much.") that i was fawning over thomas. yes i agree. she said i really shouldn't spoil him. i agree. so i told her it was her fault for not pushing me to have kids earlier. now that i have been deprived for 10 years, i am trying to suck up as much of the experience as i can. and all i can see are his sparkly little eyes. ha ha sorry! she was always saying, oh take your time, don't rush into it. maybe it was reverse psychology, but it failed.
well, i am strict about some things. no sweets other than fruit and toddler alphabet cookies. no chips or other junk food except at special events (baby-showers or other parties). no hitting, bitting, avoiding the toothbrush or disregarding naptime is tolerated and goes strictly punished with 2 min time out in "jail". uh... what else. i guess those are the main ones.
anyways, sorry to our friends if i am tiring you all out with thomas love, "oh sheesh, there she goes again. can't she think of anything better to blog about??" but i can't help it! :)

I for one love reading about cute Thomas. They don't stay young forever and grow up too fast. I think you can never give a kid too much love, just too many things. I think you two are doing a wonderful job with Thomas.

Try this one, shipping is $4.95 though.
how funny- i was just looking at that elmo! i like how soft Gund dolls are. now that i know they make elmo, i was going to start calling local toy stores to see if anyone has them. beats paying an extra $5 :)
When Eric was in the 2-3 year old range (i.e. past sippy cups, but not quite adept at handling a real cup), I got tired of him accidentally knocking over his cup at the dinner table. So I started serving him his milk in a heavy coffee mug, and that cut down the spills by 90%. =)
I know you probably found one already by now...but I just saw one at Safeway yesterday...i know, safeway, but it was just a soft stuffed animal w/no gadgets etc and I almost bought it for Lexy, but changed my mind...I don't know how much it was...maybe $13 I think??? Anyway, I love Thomas and if you don't gush over him, I will have to! :) Miss you!

Hey, it's been almost half a month since you've blogged! What am I suppose to read before I goto bed? ^_^ Sara insists on watching Thomas' youtube videos over and over. She loves "Tommy's" pics too!
