I Have Other Kids Too!

I have been spending so much time on Grace, that I'm not keeping a record of anything else that is going on in my family's life, especially my other kids. So I plan to have a blog for each child. We'll see how this goes.

I guess I will start with a couple of funny things that Tommy has done recently.

Earlier in December, I was working out and Tommy was watching me. During my routine, I do a lot of squats (I was doing Power 90- Beach Body.) He said "Squats again?...when I grow up I am not working out!" When I reassured him that he would work out when he is older so he can get big muscles, he replied "Dad doesn't work out!"


When we got home from my parents after spending Christmas there, Tommy looked under our own Christmas tree at the cabin and exclaimed Santa didn't bring me what I asked for- "You know, I told you, a pop-gun because my old one was broken and I had to throw it away and a car that drives underground." When asked for details about the car, he can't be specific. I think he just made it up. Earlier in the month, he told me he wrote a letter to Santa at pre-school and mailed it. When I asked him what he asked for, he told me he didn't have to tell me, only Santa needed to know. I told him he could whisper it in my ear and I wouldn't tell anyone, but he wouldn't. When I asked him what he wanted me and his Dad to give him, he said he only needed little things from us-like the littlest pet shop monkey with the tree. That Santa was bringing the rest.
