For Thomas's birthday this year, we invited his friend Anna over to make kites. As is tradition, we held the celebration at Mamaw's. We made paper kites for indoor decoration, and an outdoor kite for flying. Unfortunately, by the time we finished the outdoor kite, the breeze had vanished and darkness was approaching, so we all agreed to go inside and feast upon roast chicken and cake and save the kite flying for another day.
In looking back over the previous year, Thomas has made enormous strides in becoming a "big boy." He gave up his crib for Mommy's old trundle bed, and he decided that pooping in his pants maybe wasn't such a good idea after all. He still looks like his mommy, but he is a "fixer-upper" like his daddy. All and all, he is making his way to being a productive citizen!
