The Thomas Family: 22 Months-old

Well, another month has flown by. It is hard to believe that fall is here and that birthdays and holidays are around the corner. This month I have tried to slow life down a little bit and not be sooooo busy. I have tried to appreciate the small things in each day that make each day so wonderful. During this time, it has made me even more appreciative of all of the blessings in our life. I am so thankful that God created relationships so that in some way we can experience what he feels for us. So...each day I am reminded of God's love through the eyes of a precious little boy.

Some of my favorites from the month...

1. Listening to Carson talk to his Heavenly Father while attempting to close his eyes: "Dear God Fathers, thank you for mommy and daddy. (pause) Food. (pause) Eggs. Toast. Mimi Pop. Granna Grandy. KK. Jesus name AMEN!" (Of course his prayer changes daily, but each day I am reminded of the "little" things to be thankful for.)

2. Watching Carson become Daddy's little boy: This month Carson has become even fonder of his earthly Daddy. From the running to the door when Daddy comes home to the crying when Daddy has to stay for a meeting after church, Carson LOVES his Daddy. Their two favorite things to do together are to watch cartoons and eat a snack in Daddy's chair and to play choo choos! (Oh..and to "fix" things!)

3. Observing Carson with others: Carson LOVES his friends. He constantly asks over and over about many of his little friends. Whether it is going to the park or going to Bible class, he is constantly aware of each person, especially when they aren't there and he was expecting them to be:)

4. Listening to this boy sing: I know that I sing alot by many people standards. It brings joy to my day, but to see a little boy sing about his Jesus just melts my heart. This month, Carson has started singing "Thank You Lord for Loving Me". He can sing every word without cues. I love the changes in pitch! I also love when he gets into a song and claps his hands, closes his eyes, and really sings it out!

Carson taking a bath at Nannie's. We were blessed to get to stay at her house on our last visit since mom and dad were having some work done to their house. Thanks, Nannie!
