Time with Thomas

Megan is having her new baby tonight... I think. We are babysitting Thomas. He is currently laying in the pack and play, drinking a bottle and twirling his hair. It has been years since we've had one so small over night. He is VERY tired but fighting off sleep. He loves being with his cousins and boy do they love having him here. It's like a brand new toy. Everything becomes louder and larger as they run around the house entertaining... doing anything for a laugh or a smile.

And he does his share of entertaining. He dances, plays ring around the rosie and to everyones delight, calls them all by name, or some sound they insist is their name. Even Brady is enchanted by this ball of sunshine. Brady was coming up the stairs. Thomas went running toward him, and launched himself off the top step into Bradys arms. They have a great relationship. We call him "tom-tom" He is a little navigation device. He makes sure you know exactly what you are doing at all times. I saw a quote today that I want to make for Megs to put over his bed. It says, "The Prince knows who's in charge around here... and it's not the King or Queen."

So shall we take bets on how much sleep we get tonight? It's been a long time since I was woken in the middle of the night by a tired, hungry, wet baby. And Thomas is a Mommas boy, Im not sure how he's going to react to me coming to his early morning calls for attention.
