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.

Tommy masters architecture

Here we can see Tommy learning all about architecture. He built this tower practically by himself, with only a little help from Daddy. As you can see, he's very proud of it. What you can't see, because it happened just a few seconds after the picture was taken, was Tommy testing the tower's strength... by pushing it over and laughing hysterically. That's Tommy.. Creator and destroyer.

You can also see the remnants of pink eye in this picture. His eyes were a lot worse a couple days ago. Poor kid could barely open his left eye on Thursday. :-( But he does seem to be feeling better now. So that's good. His eyes have improved a lot even since this picture was taken earlier today.

Tommy enjoys fine literature

Tommy took some time out of his busy schedule to enjoy one of the finer things in life -- great literature. I forget what exactly it was he was reading, something about animals -- Animal Farm, perhaps? At any rate, as you can see, it was enjoyable and engrossing, undoubtedly one of the greatest works of literature modern civilisation is capable of producing.
