Thomas's big achievement this summer has been learning to swim. At the beginning of the summer, he refused to jump off the diving board wearing his swim ring. Now look at him! We have all enjoyed the pool this summer, but Thomas has discovered the water in a whole new way. His other obsession of the summer:
Although it may not be obvious to all from this photo, Thomas is grinning because he's touching a Hummer. We even visited the local dealer in July as a treat. Fortunately we found that even the H2 only seats 6 people. I say fortunately, since we've been discussing the possibility of a car that would allow us to take along Aunt Sara and Uncle Cedric, for example, when they come for a visit: that would mean 7! So I was off the hook: Thomas is not agitating for us to buy a Hummer.
A post for today would be incomplete without a mention of Iain: he took three steps today. That's his longest journey to date, up from two steps yesterday and the day before. More on him , and pictures, in the days to come!
