Ash cloud, and some new Thomas videos

As you are all aware, Simeon is currently stuck in NYC because of the ash cloud that has disrupted all flights in and out of the UK. My mom is also here, which is great, but I think she is probably getting a little bored. I'm in (surprisingly/relatively) good spirits despite the disruption to our lives. We've managed to Skype with Simeon twice now, so Thomas has gotten to see his Baba/daddy, but of course that's not the same as having Simeon here. We're just trying to go on with life normally - Thomas continues to go to day care (still having a hard time adjusting to the new room), and I plan on heading back to work even though Mom will most likely still be around for the rest of the week, if not longer. It is so strange how everything is at a standstill but you still have to go on with your lives. The school term seems to be starting up without any major problems, though I'm quite sure that there are a number of EU/international students who are stuck outside of England and can't get back! The weather has been surprisingly nice - only some haze and rare clouds. The sky has been really blue and it finally feels like spring.

Here are some new Thomas videos from the past two months. He is hilarious these days, though still struggling at nursery. Today we saw his old carer at the nursery (the girl who was his "key person" in the baby room) and he smiled at her. I think he misses her a lot. He is babbling a lot these days, and is much more willful - and gets MAD if he doesn't get his way! But here are some videos of him being very sweet: enjoy!
