Baby Thomas is my buddy. He goes with me everywhere and rarely complains. One of his favorite places to go is to the ice arena. That's a good thing, because that is where I feel I most often find myself...especially on the weekends. Sometimes even 3 times in one day! He seems to like the colder air, and watching the kids zip back and forth on the ice. When we are at games, he enjoys all the attention he gets from fellow hockey moms, and thinks we are all funny and sometimes crazy as we cheer and get all worked up about goals and bad referee calls.
For the past few games, I have been working on clapping with Thomas. We will cheer as I help him clap his hands together. He just smiles from ear to ear and thinks it is a lot of fun. He never replicated it, but often by the end of games, he would be making noises as we cheered.
Today, I left with Michael for 30 minutes to take care of our neighbor's dog. When we got home, Daddy was sitting on the floor playing catch with a ball with Thomas. Each time Thomas "caught" the ball, my baby cheered "Awahaw!" and clapped his hands together! He was not only catching a ball, but clapping and cheering all on his own! Now how did that happen? I only left him for 30 minutes and Daddy taught him a new trick. Thomas was so proud of himself. Maybe Daddy should be the one homeschooling Michael too.....Michael could be done with high school by next Saturday at that rate!
