Dragon!

Now you know Tommy's terrible secret: When angered, he transforms into a mighty dragon and lays waste to all around him!

Also, Dani painted his face to look like a dragon last week. Tommy rather enjoyed that.

Tommy tries to hint

Tommy got to go to the agriculture museum last weekend, and was so excited about the animals that he's been hinting ever since that he wants to go back. At one point, "hinting" took the form of lining up all his Little People animals on the stairs and telling us at the top of his lungs that he didn't want to play with little animals, he wanted to see BIG ANIMALS.

Tommy is not subtle.

Tommy has a message for Mommy

Tommy would like everyone to know about the important message he has for his Mommy.

Tommy sings for you

To make up for the long delay between uploads, here is a video of Tommy singing. Sarah Boyle, eat your heart out!

The lyrics, in case you're curious:

Twinkle, twinkle, dinosaur
How you trample, how you roar
Splattered by a meteorite
Turned to oil o'er many a night
Twinkle, twinkle, dinosaur
How you trample, how you roar!

- lyrics by Joel Burrows

Tommy is startled by sheep

Tommy got to go on an Easter egg hunt this morning, which was a lot of fun. He found almost half the eggs without any prompting at all, which is pretty darn good for someone who's not even two and a half years old. He was rather surprised to open some of the eggs and find animals. This one contained a sheep, which he found particularly exciting.

Also: Three updates in a week? I've clearly gone MAD!!! with the camera(s). Either that or there have just been a lot of good photo ops in the last few days. Whatever. The upshot is that you might want to scroll down to see if there are some updates you haven't seen yet. Especially the laundry video. TOMMY COMMANDS YOU TO WATCH THE LAUNDRY VIDEO!!!

Tommy is put to work

Tommy's caused us so much work that we decided it was time to return the favour. We've started his period of enforced servitude with laundry duty, as you can see here.

And just in case you think this is some sort of anomaly and this picture just happens to look like Tommy's doing laundry, I took a video.


We can only hope this enthusiasm lasts...

Tommy has a friend

Tommy's friend Graham came over for a visit on Saturday. The two of them played all day, with hardly any sharing issues at all. They've even reached the stage where they actually play together sometimes, particularly if the tent has been pulled out -- they can play peek-a-boo for half an hour straight! Mostly they just look at each other and laugh and then shriek and then laugh some more. It's very cute. And, as you can see, they quite enjoy having each other around.
