Here’s what Thomas has been up to this week. I swear that he came up with the idea completely on his own. Whenever anybody walks by our yard, he shouts: “Hi! Hey, I’m a motorbike guy!”
Towards the beginning, you can hear him saying his favorite catch phrase: “Everybody ready? On your mark, get set, GO!”
Also: For those of you who are worried, the mulch pile is only about 2 feet high. And we got him a bike helmet a couple of days after this footage was captured. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that what he’s doing is completely safe, but he can (and regularly does) find ways to sit on the couch that are more dangerous.

Thomas and I were outside for over three hours today. It was lovely. He is filthy. That’s okay, because Will’s home now and he’s going to give Thomas a bath. I am enjoying a glass of wine. Really, what could be better?
Except maybe this hilarious conversation we had in the car just now after picking Will up from his office.
Thomas: Daddy, you got a package!! [Tomorrow is Will's birthday. The package is his gift from Thomas and me, but I wisely did not tell Thomas what it was since he cannot keep a secret.]
Will: Wow!
Thomas: What’s in it?
Will: I don’t know. What do you think it is?
Thomas: Hmmm, I think maybe it’s a semi truck, or a cement mixer, or a forklift.
Will: Those would be really nice birthday gifts, huh?
Thomas: Yep. Can we open it?
Will: I don’t know. My birthday isn’t today, it’s tomorrow. I’m not sure we should open it tonight. Do you think it’s appropriate?
