Yes, I have another child, and he is terrific

Despite four posts in a row that feature Lizzie, I am madly in love with Tommy lately.

This morning Tommy almost made me cry when he cleared his plate AND my plate after breakfast. He is also back to being sweet to Lizzie ("Mommy, wait a second, I need to pick this daisy for Lizzie!"). When I asked him what he likes best about school, he said, "the food." Which made me laugh because the food he gets at school for lunch IS better than the food he gets for dinner during the week (when I'm cooking). We took an eight-minute movie of him reading "The Gruffalo's Child" this weekend. He knows more dinosaurs than I do, and also that there are volcanos on Mars.
