Don’t want to forget:
How Thomas climbs the steps three at a time, stretching his little legs until I’m sure he pull a muscle! And how he likes me to rub his feet when he is tired. How he says peanut butter and jelly (jjellie) and table (tamel). How we have to open his yellow bahs (granola bars) just
