best friends

Melissa is back for a surprise visit after just three months. Tim warmed to her immediately, acting as though she'd never been gone.

christmas

Tim had a great Christmas this year. He loves all of his toys, and he loves all of Luke's toys as well. Toy Story items were a big hit as were Richard Scarry books.

complete with a pull string on his back with the same messages as he has in the movie


push a button and the wings open; push it again and they retract; move around and it makes noises. fortunately he doesn't think he can fly.

space


listening to 'chitty, chitty bang, bang' on iTunes.



Why's Addie crying Mama?

She's a little upset right now and needs some space.

No, rockets have space. No Addie have space.

brag alert



I spoke with Timothy's nursery school teacher yesterday about his upcoming third birthday and whether he would be ready to be promoted to the three-year-old room. I'm still blushing with pride. She and her assistant said things like:

Polite
Knows all his colors and shapes
Sits still when most of his peers do not/can not
Pays attention
Follows directions
We don't want him to go
Ready to go now
We'll miss him
Top of his class
Counts to twenty well
Knows his ABC's
Wonderful
Sweet
Gets along well with others


I just thought you'd like to know what they think of him at nursery school.
