Bragging

*WARNING* This post is full of bragging and all about "my family is awesome", if you don't want to read it, don't. But you're missing out ;)
So, I feel a little bit of a need to brag about my son, and so this is a great outlet for me :) 
Today Thomas fed himself breakfast, totally.  I gave him a bowl of trix (I actually held it so the milk didn't end up everywhere) and he took the spoon from me and fed himself.  He managed to only get a little milk on his onesie, and no cereal casualties at all :)  I did feed him the last few straggalers from the bowl, because he couldn't corral them, but he did it all by himself!
His new favorite thing to do is kick balls around, we have a lot of them cause he loves to watch them roll, and now he's figured out if he goes up to it, he can kick it and it goes all over.  He loves it, he gets so proud of himself.
He has his first taste of steak today. We went to Texas Roadhouse and my dad got prime rib, well Thomas has a few molars now, so I told my dad it was okay to feed him some meat. He wouldn't eat ANYTHING but my dad's prime rib.  It was great, he spit out the potatoes, the roll, the corn, my mom's pulled pork, nothing would make him happy but they prime rib.  He's starting off right :)
When we got home from the restaurant he was playing and I said to him "Thomas, do you want me to take off your coat?" and he turned to James and I and said "Yeah" and started to take off his coat.  We were so proud!
He will also now pick up toys and bring them to me if I ask.  So if he drops a toy, and I say to him "Thomas, can you pick it up and bring it to Mommy?" he'll pick it up, and bring it to me. He usually then wants it back, I mean it is only fair, he gave it to me, I should give it to him, right?  Of course our living room still isn't clean... ever, but we are working on it!
In other news, I passed my finance class. It was basically a miracle, because my teacher was nuts, but I did it!  I was so excited, I called my whole family :)
James finished math, which is also basically a miracle because he did his entire class in one week.  His dad and sister in law were instrumental in helping.  Without them it wouldn't have happened, and we love them and owe them a LOT!  We are currently coming up with a fun way to say thank you to them, thoughts?
Christmas is almost here, and we actually got snow today, of course it lasted about 2 hours, but hey, Thomas loved it, and we went and played while it was still on the ground :)
