homas is the younger brother of Benjamin. He is definitely two years old, mired in the age of frustration. He can do so much now and yet none of it well enough. He is learning to delay gratification, to plan ahead to achieve his goals, and yet he wants everything -- NOW! He has all of the qualifications to be a great American CEO.

his is truly the terrible two's. His tantrums are terrible to behold and often occur for no reason that is apparent to us. He cannot articulate his frustration, and that only makes it worse. Worse still, he has his big brother's footsteps to follow in. He wants to go everywhere Benjamin does and that is not always possible.

ommy is experiencing his first loves. His first was the Teletubbies, but this has now been replaced by the Wiggles, a children's show from Austrailia. Both shows are fairly palatable for adults. The Wiggles songs are rather catchy and their humor is just off-the-wall enough to spare a parent's sanity.

adly, the Wiggles franchise here in America has been picked up by Disney and I suspect that the Disney machine will destroy their simple charm. Their merchandising is as catchy as their songs. Tommy received a Captain Feathersword's Feathersword and a Murray's Guitar for Channukka and the house has not been quiet since.

Bye bye Teletubbies
