Tommy is a cheerful, smiley, independent child with big ideas. His favorite activities are coloring, cutting, and taping things (once I found a nursery handout thoroughly taped to his bedroom door, using about 30 3-inch pieces of tape).
Tommy likes playing the piano and singing. He is good at reading and can sound out most any phonetic word. Several times I have caught him in his bedroom with his early reader books, carefully reading the books out loud to himself. It looks like we have another little reader in the making!
Tommy also LOVES Puppy and all his other stuffed dogs. He sometimes sleeps with 5 or more of them in his bed. Puppy is his favorite, though, and he always woofs at us when Tommy first wakes up in the morning (Puppy's woofs and whines is how Tommy communicates with us when he is feeling sleepy).
When the weather is warm, Tommy loves to bike outside. He also enjoys our big sandbox. His best friend is Alex Switzer, who we swap playdates with every Wednesday. Tommy and Alex just moved up into Junior Primary to join the Sunbeam class! Tommy is the oldest sunbeam, and we got to sing Happy Birthday to him during his first official Sunday in Primary. He is giving a Primary talk in two weeks, as well. Tommy is getting to be so big!
Tommy's dimpled grin and smiling eyes always makes my day. He is so fun to have at home, and he loves playing with his baby sister, Kate. Happy Birthday, Tommy. You are a wonderful part of our family!
