Who do you think is more fun? The lady at the bottom of the hill saying, "Hold on with two hands." "Be careful." or the lady at the top of this hill saying "1,2,3 here we go!" That's why Caleb is always excited to visit Tom-a. She's the lady at the top of the hill.
This is what he looks like when I drop him off for Tom-a time. Oh, what fun to be had! Tom-a has encouraged Caleb's dance moves, which he practices with Grandpa. Grandpa and Caleb dance every single day - to the same songs. It looks a little something like this (I couldn't resist, Dad. Sorry!):
Tom-a also encourages Caleb's love for books. He recently became very attached to what I happened to be reading The Life of Pi. For a week straight, he would sit flipping through the pages for 20 minutes straight.
What would we do without our Tomi? We love her! World, you're lucky I'm even posting this. Now the word is out and people are going to try to steal her from us. You can't have her.
I agree! She is the best! Even tho we live thousands of miles away Selina faithfully reminds me at 430 every Wednesday that it's skype night with Nana and every Wed Nana enthusiastacally listens and comments on every detail of her life and sings with Nehemiah. Nehemiah even asks to call her if he thinks Nana will get him out of trouble. He says 'I call Nana, I call Nana! and then he will unload his woes to her. She listens and tries to talk him out of them.
ReplyDeleteLaura next time we want to see you sitting on the 'bike' with Caleb and then the slide!
Lori - You can assure your kiddos that Nana talks about them all the time. That's what makes her great, she loves like each kid is her own. I don't know about tackling that hill on the bike, but I might do it on a sled. My shrieking on the way down would be too embarrassing to publish on the internet:)
