Another step towards social integration is what we think might be Thomas trying to give us a kiss. He gets the idea vaguely, and even closes his eyes, as if deeply moved by the emotion of the moment, but then fails at the final fence: he opens his mouth and takes as much [...]
I’ve just noticed how the quality of my posts really suffers when I haven’t been posting regularly! Also, my mood really affects the style! You can really tell when I’m miserable and pissed off! Luckily I’ve not really had enough time to post all my miseries, so I can mention the low [...]
So, while I’ve been busy forgetting to document Thomas’ various developments and progress, he took us completely by surprise this morning!
