Present time

Thomas is a big fan of presents, any time and any where as long as they are all for him. The expectations that an unopened present holds is by far the best to see with Thomas. Once the unwrapping has taken place (all over very quickly), the joy in his face when he sees what has lovingly been chosen and wrapped is wonderful.

On Sunday uncle Mike arrived for lunch bearing gifts - the biggest for Thomas I was told. Well, Thomas couldn't wait until Dad got out of the shower so he opened it all by himself on our bed.

It didn't take much cajoling for uncle Mike and Daddy Steve to assist Thomas with the building of the contents, the instructions were used sparingly. Even I had loads of fun following the instructions and building the little airport vehicles that went with the ginormous plane.

Here is Thomas proudly showing off his aeroplane from aunty Sue and uncle Mike. It was for ages 5-7 and Thomas rightly told me he could do it because he was almost 5!
