So, my post was just a little premature this afternoon, as there was a noteworthy funny at supper tonight. Mom, Whit and Devin were over for supper and we were all sitting around the table. As we do every other night, we held hands and Shawn said a blessing. When he was through, Thomas wanted to hold various hands and say "Amen" again and again. Finally, he said "Amen.....now eat!" We couldn't help but laugh. I can't believe he just said that.....hilarious!
So, I hope you all had a wonderful evening and a wonderful supper. Amen. Now eat.

Catch Up??
I don't even think I'm capable of catching up...... How about we just start over?
My name is Lauren, my husband is Shawn and we have a 20 month old named Thomas....okay, I guess we don't have to go THAT far back. Christmas was great, busy, but great! New Years was uneventful, as usual, except for a fun gathering with some of our friends while Thomas rang in the New Year in his crib under the watchful eye of his Mamaw and Grandaddy. January has been just fine. Typical NC weather...75 one day, 32 the next. In fact, Thomas and I went to the park to play in jeans and t-shirts last week and we're supposed to get snow this weekend. Why can't I ever seem to get used to this weather??!!
Thomas is sending us (or should I say me?) on a roller coaster nearly every day. He'll be an angel for most of the day, listening to me when I ask him to do something, laughing, eating his snacks and meals and then he'll take on the personality of someone I wouldn't choose to be around. He throws good ole' toddler fits, slings food across the table, throws toys, screams at the top of his lungs with his fists clenched. Can you picture that?? Really try to picture that..... Seems cute, doesn't it? It's not. But, I must say, he is a wonderful little boy with a great demeanor and some of the trouble lies with me. I need to work on patience, consistency, and many other things I'm not even aware of yet!
Some random notes about Thomas:
-- He is learning many new concepts and is really starting to converse well (for a 20 month old).
-- I was in our room the other day and he was playing next to me. Next thing I know, he's walking out, shutting the door and looked right at me and said "bye bye" with a big smile on his face. He also says "bye bye" when he pushes his high chair away from the table.
-- He repeats everything! Our conversation in the car the other day went like this.
Mama: Did you have fun today?
Thomas: Today.
Mama: What did you do?
Thomas: Do.
Mama: Did you play with your new toy?
Thomas: Toy.
You get the idea.... :)
The child will be TWO in a little over 3 months!!! That is just insane!!! Where's the pause button??
