happy new year to all of you! thomas has changed quite a bit in the last three months. for starters, he throws fits much more when he doesn't get enough warning about a change in activity or if we take something away unexpectedly. an average of about one a day. funny too b/c they happen so suddenly. one minute he is all fine, the next minute, he is crying like the WHOLE WORLD IS GOING TO END! however, if we give him a count down so he knows when to expect something to end, he is usually pretty good. sometimes we have to ask him if he is going to stop, or if we need to physically pull him away. (when given 2 choices, he always picks the option to do things himself).
he also is really getting the hang of talking and puts together some surprising zingers. now we totally get why our friend, Andy is always posting funny things that his kids say. they say the darnest things!
Mommy: "thomas why don't you try eating some of this omlet? it is SO yummy, so delicious!"
Thomas: "then you eat it!"
(he spears the two chunks with his fork and dumps it on my plate.)
Another favorite of his is to walk over to another child that has something he wants and he says "SHARE!" and "You're supposed to take turns" (translation: give it to me!)
On the good side, he continues to be completely enthralled with music and our house is filled with him singing and trying to play various instruments. while the guitar is his favorite, he also will pretend to play the piano, his little flute, the drums and occasionally a little violin or cello. Of course, his no 1 priority is learning new songs from the Wiggles. Here is his current favorite on youtube - the Shimmey Shake. sorry it is kind of loud - he doesn't really sing softly.
