New toys

Tommy received many lovely gifts for his birthday. Most of them have many, many pieces and he took everything apart all at once.


Then, rather than watching a movie with us, he decided to look at the TV from the wrong side.

Why is everyone staring at me?

Thomas got started in his birthday cake a little early. While I was decorating his cake, he tried a bit of the icing to make sure that it was good enough for his guests.

The finished product. It tasted better than it looked.

Daddy helped blow out the candle.

Thomas was wondering what was in the cake. No one else was eating. Everyone was staring at him. Waiting for something. But what?

Laurie decided to show him how it is done, this cake eating business.

Who's afraid of the big bad cow?

Thomas is trying out his Stare Of Doom(TM) as part of his costume as an evil, soul-devouring cow for Hallowe'en.


Oh wait, it turns out he's not an evil cow so much as a silly cow. Huh. Well, that's good too. On a side note, it's worth pointing out that getting this picture involved considerable restraint on Andrea's part, as she was desperately fighting the urge to nibble Thomas's toes. Don't they look just nummy?


In the end, we had to take the costume off. Thomas was not thrilled about being a cow. Which might actually explain the look he was giving in the first picture. Still it was cute while it lasted.
