Thomas the Big Boy

Both Thomas and Elizabeth have been pretty timid children since birth....timid and cautious. Thomas has always been a "watcher"......observing the situation and all involved before deciding whether to join in or walk away. Well, all of the sudden he has become a BOY. He loves to touch lizards, climb anything, kick balls, throw balls, dig in the dirt, etc. Thomas absolutely LOVES bulldozers, diggers, front loaders, tractors and is always on the look out for such machines. He quickly points them out with excitement and squeals with delight if he sees them in action. We recently went to a birthday party at a place called Monkey Joe's which is full of "bouncey houses," and he was a total maniac. He climbed ladders and slid down slides that were at least ten feet high and long...by himself. Thomas was not intimidated at all by the bigger kids running over him and around him. He was in constant motion the entire time.....did not even want to eat his cake or ice cream!!!

Here are some current Thomasisms. The first one makes me laugh every time.
Poopie S Man = UPS man,
Lipey = Wipey
Boo mato = tomato
boobabies = blueberries
strawbabies = strawberries
raspbabies = raspberries
Names his kisses (ex: blue kiss, yellow kiss, King kiss which is typically reserved for Daddy)
Requests cuddles and today requested "bulldozer cuddles"
Says Relaaaaaxxxxx while trying to have a BM on the potty...maybe too much info???

Here is a video of Thomas in action.
