Walking the croc

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

So Thomas is nearly walking but not quite… He does do a lot of practising however, and likes to take his crocodile for a walk, either holding onto one of mummy’s fingers, or if she’s busy, he just uses his trolley:

gappy plans…

So I’ve mentioned teeth, and I thought I’d try and show you what he looks like, which isn’t easy, as trying to get Thomas to smile AND stay still at the same time is nigh on impossible, still here is a blurry photo of the two top teeth, which are spaced so that he lookes [...]

Well, ok, he can’t actually say that yet, but if he could, he would have said it last night!
