Wee Whimsical Wilson Wife Writes

Before Luke was born I took a bunch of pictures intending to blog about certain events and the family in general.  I'm just getting around to them.  I really need to get a basketball and see if it looks the same under my shirt as a baby . . . Here are the shorts I made for Thomas out of John's old dress shirt he used to wear to dances over a decade ago.  As you can see Thomas takes off when I start shooting. Here we are a couple days before Luke was born.  Happy Fourth of July!  And below after all three of them woke up from naptime and I gathered them on my bed for cuddling and pictures:

Today while playing with playdough Thomas got really upset that he didn't have anymore playdough and that I wouldn't just give him Spencer's.  He sat on the floor and cried and was very sad and getting frustrated.  I sat on the floor with him and held him- I felt bad that he was so sad.  Spencer came over and started pulling big chunks of his own playdough away and handing it to Thomas until he had given almost half of it to Thomas.  I praised him and he giggled with joy.  Spencer is such a sweet and loving child. Luke woke up and started crying.  Thomas yelled, "I'm going to go rescue him!"  And he ran up to the bed and started singing to him and talking and at first it wasn't calming the baby until he started really sing-song music.  It was up down up down teeter totter music.  Then he got down to run and get a toy and Luke cried while he was gone (!) and Thomas ran as fast as he could and Luke settled down when he got back...

The weirdest thing happened today; John pointed out that Luke looks identical to baby Thomas.  Consequently, I've spent the evening looking at baby Thomas pictures.  Two things to say about that. 1.  I actually do have baby pictures of Thomas. 2. Thomas was indeed one cute baby.
