I wasn't sure what to call this collage of Thomas. You can see that at 4 years and 10 months, he is quite a charachter. At his best, he is the sweetest, cuddliest, best little buddie that a parent could dream of. At his worst, we feel at a loss...we feel DONE! As the current (and possibly permanent) baby of the family, he has acquired many of the attributes commonly ascribed to the youngest. He screams at the first sign of something unfair, asserts himself into your face when he wants to be the center of attention, throws tantrums, etc.. It's a good thing that Thomas likes to give hugs and kisses! Yes, he is THOMAS, and he won't let ANYONE call him 'Tommy' - EVER. I play the piano for primary, so I have a front row seat to everything that he, and my other sons do in primary. The Tommy thing really is quite funny, since everyone can't seem to help calling him Tommy, only to be told very emphatically "THO-MAS!". Last week he moved up from Sunbeams, and there is a new row of little people in the front. They are SO little, and say such off the wall things, it reminds me how much he has grown in the last year. Thomas's birthday is March 17th - he will be 5.

Lisa helped me put this collage together. It was rather obvious that we had a common theme among his recent pictures. Something about Ben-10 and Kung-Fu Panda has apparently affected his poses for pictures. He is an adorable little boy. Thank you Thomas for kissing your parents goodnight (the other two wouldn't dream of a kiss on the lips, but will allow us to kiss them on the cheek).
