The Snail...

Thomas is always so carefully focused on one thing at a time. Be it a puzzle, he will master it piece by piece. Be it a job he will do it bit by bit. Be it an ouchie he will not forget he will need a kiss, a band aid, another kiss and a push on the swing and maybe the ouchie will be forgotten... Well, one of Thomas' amazing skills is acting. He loves to sing, dance, giggle and entertain. My younger brother, Colin, was in a play at the end of March and was Snail. Colin has been on a missions trip since late May. The other day Thomas was on my lap and he said, "Mom, where's Snail?" The tone was so sad. Colin is one of Thomas' favorite people. Grammie let him hold her phone with a picture of Colin and Thomas sat looking at it and was horrified when the screen saver came on and hid Colin from view.

(If you'd like to watch the real Snail there is a recording on youtube. search for The Snail with the Mail or I'm coming out of my shell and look for the recording of Colin from Frog and Toad.)

Here's "Little Snail"

I'm carrying a letter...

...a most important letter...
