Minus

Ok... File this in the "Just when you thought your child could not get any cuter" department. For the longest time Thomas would say everyone else's name but his own. However, recently he has started to say "mine" when referring to things he thought were his... i.e. his plate, his truck, etc. Sorcha and I have been asking to say his name lately but he just didn't want to say it. Then... one day, continuing our quest for him to say Thomas... when asked he whispered "Minus". I'm assuming it's a combination of "mine" and "Thomas". He now always refers to himself as minus. "Minus walk", "Minus up", "Minus down"... It is the cutest thing in the world. Sorcha captured a short video with him saying it. See below...

Thomas at the Park

One thing Thomas loves is playing outside. Our goal for a while has been to find the best parks all over Austin and the surrounding areas. Well, we found a great one today. There is a new park in Round Rock over by Brushy Creek that has a great little toddler playscape. It's quite shaded and and has a lot of empty fields around it for lots of running around. Here are some pictures of our time at the park.
