Tommy Tom

Our little Tommy is such a character lately. He says the funniest things. We were getting ready for church Sunday morning and I was talking with him about behaving in Primary. He's been really rowdy and silly during class and sharing time. I asked him why he gets so crazy in Primary with his friends. His response, " Well, sometimes I just get tempted!" Damon and I had to laugh at that one! I had explained during music time a few weeks ago about what it meant to be tempted...so funny to hear him use the word and in the right context!

We've been doing Mommy School each day. It doesn't last very long, maybe 10-15 minutes depending on the activity/craft. We sing the Days of the Week song, count the number of days, say what day it is, talk about the letter (we're working on A right now), and do a little project. Tommy loves it! We started off with shapes and this month it is all about apples. Tommy stamped apples onto an A. He now loves to point out any A he sees and is so proud of himself for finding it! Last night we were driving in the car and he was pointing out all the A's. Damon was annoyed and said, "Tommy, why do you have to tell us every time you see an A?" Tommy replied, "Because Damon, we don't have that many A's in our house, so we have to look around the city!!" If my craft isn't good enough, he asks for scissors and glue and paper. He then, cuts and cuts and cuts, then glues it all onto another piece of paper. Pretty cute, yet annoying when he wants to do it every day.

Sunday he pulled out all the Scripture People and had them all placed on his Batcave. Apparently one of the "missionaries" didn't choose the right so he was in jail.

 Tommy helped me wash apples one day to get ready to make applesauce that evening. We thought it was neat that they float.

 Tommy's cut and paste creations. He calls them puzzles.

Tommy loves tying things, mainly tying up toys and swinging them around. In fact, I had to take all the pull-toys away because he'd tie them to other toys and then cut the string when he couldn't get it untied. One day he was tying toys up with a little Home Depot apron and hanging them from the banister, then swinging them. He is so funny:)
