He's a boy of few words, but lots of cheerful and expressive jargon. He loves cars, silly dancing, and pretending to be a monster or a dog or a dinosaur. Sometimes he's talkative and sociable, other times he's quiet and thoughtful. And he's downright adorable all the time!
Right now Thomas is all about cars. Like he has been pretty much his entire life. :-) So for his birthday gift I made him a little car playmat, with roads to drive his cars on, houses and trees, a store, library, and fire station, and a little pond.
Then I decorated his cake to match. As usual, I did it using the sugar-overload method. A Hershey's Minis road, chocolate rocks, gumdrop bushes, lollipop trees.
It was a big hit with Thomas, who was too excited about picking off chocolate rocks to sit still enough to get a clear picture.
He was so cute singing "Happy Birthday" along with the rest of us. He loves to sing! I have a video, but Blogger is acting up so I can't post it right now.
Thomas LOVES his playmat. You know it's a successful gift when the plate of cake and ice cream sits ignored and all attention is focused entirely on playing with the present! He never did get around to eating his cake and ice cream, choosing instead to zoom his cars back and forth on his new playmat all evening. And he brought the playmat to bed with him. Yes, he definitely likes his present. :-)
Happy birthday to my wonderful little man.
