All boy..

Yep, sweetest thing I can say. This was Tommy this morning, he even cheesed it up after realizing his mama just took his picture, of course his mama also let him know this type of exercise was not appropriate in the house or on the bird's cage!

I told him no, I pulled him down trying to distract him with, oh, yes...TOYS! Finally after the fifth time I started swatting his rear...does nothing but infuriate me, why do I try this with him. I wish I could figure out WHAT will get through to him to make him listen and obey! By the way, we aren't spankers per se, but when all else fails and it's dangerous, we try it.

So after a stand off, I guarded the bird cage he got upset, bonked his head lightly on his train table then ran and crawled into Emma's bed -next to the bird's cage :)


He finally went up stairs, got his blankie out of his crib to snuggle, then came down with me and played NICELY for a few minutes before lunch. Lunch...that he didn't eat. All I can figure is 1) today is not an "eating" day...some days he doesn't fill up and out-eats his older siblings and mama too! or 2) he ate SO much for breakfast. He ate just a few bites of his baby cereal w/ prune juice. I offered him half of my bagel and a yogurt. Oh, yes, he loved it and ate until he almost popped! This is the second or third time he's refused or not eaten much of his baby cereal...I guess now the last thread of baby-anything, is gone :(

He is now in bed, snuggling his blankie and giving me a nice time to relax. I just adore him!

This is a shot of the younger two kid's bathroom in our new house. I think it's appropriate for our Monkey Boy, what do you think?
