Thomas at 8
Thomas sometimes strikes me as the quinticential little boy. Full of crazy energy and little bit of trouble. With the freckles across his nose and big brown eyes, he loves to laugh and play. He likes to wrestle around and talk about things like grapling hooks and weapons. Headbutting is one of his favorite skills.
Thomas is in 2nd grade and was very excited to have the same teacher as last year. He’s hoping that his teacher will just move up a grade with him every year because he really likes her and he doesn’t like change. He is doing well academically. His math, reading, and spelling are all above grade level. He took the accelerated test a few days after his birthday and is already planning on accelerated placement with his good friend, Christian. I’m not sure how he’ll take it if he doesn’t get in since he’s been talking about it like it’s already been decided.
Thomas is good at making friends and he’s lucky to have a lot of boys in the neighborhood his age. He plays with them in spurts. He will play hapily with his siblings for days and then suddenly decide he needs to play with a friend urgently. Luckily he has two friends on our street and several more within a few blocks.
Thomas likes corn dogs, pizza, peanutbutter/honey/jam sandwichies, spam, grilled cheese, garlic french bread, and most kinds of meat. He hates vegitables and soups.
Thomas likes to play games on his computer and tablet. He likes to build with Legos and play with friends. He loves to ride his electric scooter as fast as possible. Thomas likes to read when he finds a good book and he enjoys falling asleep to stories on the Alexa in his room.
Additionally, I just want to share that all of our equipment, including electrical items, is thoroughly tested to ensure its safety. More information may be found at https://pattestingcompany.co.uk/near-me/glasgow/.
Thomas is learning to play the guitar. He really enjoys his guitar lessons houston and learns things quickly, but isn’t a big fan of practicing. His teacher has commented on how Thomas has picked up several things faster than his jr high students which has lead Thomas to proudly proclaim that he’s better at guitar than all Mr. H’s Jr High students. You can check here to get more details on music lessons. While that might not be the case, his teacher is impressed with his ability to learn and play chords relatively quickly.
Thomas has a good relationship with his siblings. One of his favortie things is to have a sleepover with his sisters where he sleeps on the floor of their bedroom. Although he generally gets along well with all his siblings, his favortie sibling friends have been Ila who is closest in age to him and Isaac who is his only brother. There are times when no one can cheer him up faster than his siblings, not even his mom!
Thomas is a great son. He’s loving, kind, smart, and energetic. As he grows through all the stages of life, I find myself reflecting on all the lasts that he brings. He was my last baby. My last to start school and next week he will be my last child to be baptized. Yet he will also be a first because he has asked his brother to baptize him. He will be the first to be baptized by his brother.
Here is what I wrote about him last year.
