Hanging Out

Still Asleep

Petey Wants My Pretzels

Here Is My Pop-Tart

I Am So Not Happy

I had a dead battery this morning and had to wait for AAA to arrive for a jump. He was ready to go to school but we ended up having to wait over 2 hours and he grew more impatient as time went on. Here I've just given him some markers so he could color but he didn't want me to stop and take this picture. Oh well.

Uh-Oh

This is what Tomas says when one of his shoes comes off, but he doesn't mind when they do- most of the time he does it on purpose. When I tried to take the other shoe off last night he ran away.

My Daddy is Driving Me Home

I realize there have been a lot of car shots lately, but strapped into his car seat is one of the few times during the day when Tomas isn't on the move.

Pizza for Breakfast

He tends to eat the cheese first and then go back to the crust later.

No Easter Eggs In Here

Everything Is Within My Reach

Tomas was eating watermelon and noticed fortune cookies from last night's dinner sitting on a tray on the stove- he helped himself. Tomas had a haircut today before Gymboree and all it cost me was a sucker, fruit chews and a mini Kit-Kat bar- plus he had to sit on my lap. I would have liked to have had a bit more taken off but he was running out of patience so we thanked the nice lady and were on our way. There were less than 10 kids at Gymboree- usually on Saturdays it is packed- still not interested in parachute time but loves when they bring out Gymbo the clown and is given a hug and a kiss. His favorite part is at the very end when the instructor blows the train whistle, we march around the room, and he's thrown up into the air "Hip, Hip, Hooray" style. I'm thinking a train whistle will be a good birthday present for a 2 year old.

Anywhere But Mama

That's where he was looking. I was trying to take a picture at school before he got out of the car but he was not cooperating. Someone pulled in next to us and that got his attention. In his bowl, which he carried in with him, is a chocolate Pop-Tart. Shooting for a haircut this weekend.

I am the Passenger

Abandoned

I came home from work and found this in the window. Now that the weather is nicer the window is usually open and he and the dogs love to look outside and bark.

Pusher

Rice and Beans

Not as good as his grandma's, but very tasty nonetheless.

Walking Down the Stairs

My aunt and uncle went to Jamaica on their honeymoon and all I got was this d*** t-shirt. Thank you!!

Tomas is getting more confident walking down the stairs by himself. He will still hold our hands but he reallly likes to do it by himself, holding on to the wall or the rail. He usually has something in both hands and it requires some cajoling to convince him to surrender an object so he doesn't break his neck. This morning though he was walking without any support and holding 2 cars. As I stepped into the kitchen to grab my phone it crossed my mind that I might end up with shots of him tumbling to the bottom. Thankfully he was taking very long pausing before each step.

Jake and Elmo

My Pop went to Chicago and brought me this t-shirt from the House of Blues. He is always thinking of me.

Chef

Normally he loves to wear hats but here he clearly was letting us know he was not pleased with the hat or being mocked by his father.
