Surprise!

TJ's thing lately has been to surprise me. I'm not allowed to watch as he climbs into the car so I can be surprised at how he suddenly appears in his seat.

Wednesday is Meals on Wheels delivery day for us. TJ helps me carry food to the door, and at one house he gets the newspaper too. Today he insisted on hiding until our recipient opened the door, at which point he would jump out and yell, "surprise!" There were no heart attacks; I was relieved that he's not great at hiding yet and that everyone expects him. I think they all got a kick out of silly TJ.

The boys got a truck! Paul loves driving it immediately, but TJ is a little nervous. It's funny, because they've both been really excited to get it, but TJ is afraid to drive it. He looks anxious sitting here for the picture.

He slowly got more comfortable with it. Today he asked me to bring it out for him.

He's getting to be a great driver. Watch out for the slide!
