Thomas' New Best Friend

Could it be Esme, the sweet, fun neighbor girl who encouraged him to start using the potty? (Thanks, Meme!) Could it be Charlotte, who was here for several days to play with us while her nanny was away? Could it be Levi or David or Natalie or Will or Lex? Could it be big sister 'Melia whom he loves so much? Could it be little brother Johnny in the next crib over who jumps up to scream and giggle with him?

Nope, none of those...Thomas' new best friend is Quentin, the man who brought a new big boy bed to his very own bedroom! Quentin and Wesley drove the big black truck from Furnitureland South all the way to our house to bring a comfy new place for Thomas to sleep. While they were carrying parts in from the truck, Thomas watched from John's crib. (John was actually napping in Amelia's room, and Amelia was at preschool. No one else knew how the bed got here!)

While the delivery guys were setting it up, he excitedly watched the assembly procedure, especially the use of the cordless drill. He pretended to assemble the crib with his very own toy drill, which he promptly showed to his new friend. They compared tools and enjoyed one another's company. Thomas was SO VERY thrilled about the whole event, that it's hard to explain just how much. Once the mattress pad, sheet, pillow, sleeping bear, etc. were all set up, Thomas gladly went down for a nap in it. Of course, he woke up completely upside down with his feet by the pillow, but whatever...he napped happily! Quentin and Wesley, thanks for bringing little T a bed of his very own! He thinks you the bed is a gift from you guys, just because you like him! Here he is having sweet dreams in his very own big boy bed. Awww...
