Maggie has started to be interested in toys, and her current favorite is the Lamaze Jacques the Peacock. She was being so cute about it last night I had to take a video.
Nevermind that while I shot this video, the pizza I was baking in the oven went from underdone to, let’s just say, crispy. It was worth it (and the pizza was still edible).
I’m working on capturing some analogous video to illustrate what Thomas is up to these days. But whenever I get out the camera and ask him to do whatever it was he was just doing again for the camera, he refuses. Which itself is a pretty good illustration of what he’s up to these days. But hopefully I’ll have some video soon.
Conversation between Thomas and me ast night in the car on the way home from dinner with Will’s parents and out-of-town relatives.
Me: Buddy, I’m so glad to hear that you had a great day at school today! I’m very proud of you for doing such a good job.
Thomas: You’re welcome. Did you do a good job at work today, Mommy?
Me: Yeah, I guess so.
Thomas: Then I am very, very proud of you for doing a good job, Mommy.
Me: Thanks, Thomas!
Thomas: Do you think Daddy did a good job at his work today?
Me: Yeah, I’m sure he did.
Thomas: Well, then I’m very, very proud of Daddy for doing a good job, too!
He’s pretty much the most charming boy I know. Of course, then he spent the next ten minutes “singing” the background music from the dungeon level of the original Super Mario Brothers game (you know: doobee doobee doobee. . . . doobee doobee doobee. . . .and repeat). Not so charming. But I’ll take what I can get.
