Storytime with Thomas

Thomas has an amazing love for books which makes me so happy since I love them too. Every morning while Mima was here he would scamper into her room and begin his day with several stories. He also has an amazing memory. He likes to "read" many of his books himself. There are many days during nap time that I can hear him in his room "reading" a book to himself (but without the book). I was finally able to capture him reading to Emily. He frequently will go up to where she is sitting and start sharing a story with her ... and she just loves listening and watching him. I love to listen to him too and find some of his pronunciations very cute ... like "delicious looking piglet" and "terrific scrubber". I also think it's great how he tries to use different voices for different characters. A great storyteller in the making for sure. You may have to listen carefully but these are two of his favorite stories.

Emily's First Bath

Emily just loves taking her bath. She doesn't get one as often as Thomas but girls don't get as dirty as boys, right?

Thomas at The Little Gym

Thomas continues to love his time at The Little Gym. Since we moved to Boston he has been going to class all by himself. No more Mommy! He handled the transition like a big boy. He adores his teachers and has a great time. We're still working on staying with the group but he's a curious three year old so it's to be expected. Mommy gets to sit outside and watch his progress through the glass windows. But these pictures were taken while Mima was taking him to class.

Visiting Thomas the Train

Thomas the Train came to a town just an hour south of Boston and we just had to go see him. It was at a little theme park that has rides designed for little kids. Thomas had a blast. We met up with some friends in time for the train ride. I think Thomas may have enjoyed flying the planes the most. He kept wanting to go back and ride them again and again.

Catching Up

It's been a little while since I was last able to post. So, I'm going to try and catch up a little with the month of September. Mima was still here for a good part of it and we really enjoyed having her around. Enjoy the next several posts to find out what we were up to. Remember if you click on the photos it will take you a web album with all the photos for that post.
