The drumstick was a hit.
He ate the whole thing. All of it. And some pumpkin pie!

On having a new kid in town
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /var/www/nijibaby/wp-content/plugins/flashvideo-1.0.php on line 38
“Siblings without Rivalry” makes the following analogy to having a new sibling arrive.
‘Imagine that your spouse puts an arm around you and says, “Honey, I love you so much, and you’re so wonderful that I’ve decided to have another husband/wife just like you… When the new husband/wife finally arrives, you see that s/he’s very young [...]
City Gardener

Today we went to the city and Thomas was given some garden tools and instructed how to plant radishes. He did quite well given the session was mainly for 5 year olds. He was particularly taken with a boy called Max. Upon being introduced, Thomas promptly growled, “U’ll eat you up!” in reference to [...]
Two Fios

Thomas decided to join Theo on the playmat. “Um turning [into a] baby, too. Two Fios,” he explained.
Tonight’s Poetic Thought

I guess Thomas is working on a Film Noir script, because tonight he came out with:
“[It's] growing darker in [the] city [of] oakland”
Not a bad beginning.

Thomas happily shows Theo his beloved helicopter. (Many, many thanks to the MN cousins who kindly passed it on to us last year. It’s still a favourite!)
And then reaches out, “Look, Fio. Look.”
Public Alert: Squirrels
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /var/www/nijibaby/wp-content/plugins/flashvideo-1.0.php on line 38
Squirrels living near us should seek alternative sources of nutrition this winter, since all acorns are presently deposited in Thomas’s pockets and underfoot in places where we tread on them.
He has become obsessed with them since watching “Totoro.” Also since learning that the tiny shoots covering the ground after the first rains are growing from [...]
To all gardeners of ornamental grasses in our neighbourhood
Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /var/www/nijibaby/wp-content/plugins/flashvideo-1.0.php on line 38
We apologise that your tufts of beautiful auburn grass heads are rapidly diminishing, but Thomas really likes playing with them, and I indulge because it makes our walks so easy. The said grass head can be brandished at passers-by without any damage to their persons. They can be wafted in the air to see the [...]

Theo discovered his laugh last night and we found out that he is ticklish under his chin. A great moment for all concerned.
I stand corrected

“Look, Mummy. Lots a’ birdies.”
“Yes. I see them flying over there. Lots of birds together are called a flock of birds.”
“No, Mummy. Not f-l-ock. (Pausing over the new word to sound it out carefully.) Pigeons!” was his withering response.
