Lillian asked Thomas what he wants for his birthday. He told her he wants a nice homemade poem and a lego creation … and on that note, he took a picture of one of her lego creations and uploaded it to some lego app where everyone can look at it and rate it. He called it Statue of Liberty … Going to bed tonight blessed and grateful that I get to have these two in my life …

Thomas set up a studio this morning for a LEGO photo shoot! So cool! I like the scene where the photographer is on top of the backdrop wall! HA!
May 15 2017:
So excited for Thomas! He is embarking on a year long adventure into Robot School! This very small class will meet twice a week, for about two hours each time, to learn Java programing.
So many occurrences had to “line up” for this. I was not seeking it. I simply had thought a few times over the past several months of what would be a good fit for Thomas. And this is perfect for his “Einstein” type of mind! HA!
We were at the library last Thursday for the coding camp which is Scratch based. He’s already way past this but still wanted to attend the once per month class.
In chatting with the librarian I mentioned LEGO’s NXT Robotics. She said they had tried to get approval for having a club for this; but were denied due to the high expense of the kits (which is why Thomas doesn’t have one yet). But, she says, talk to that woman right over there about it as she heads one of the robot clubs.
I talked with her after the class and Thomas isn’t of the age yet for the club she facilitates …. BUT wait, there’s a small class happening right now in one of the library rooms where a great man who is on sabbatical from Google is teaching the kids Java code. Would he be interested in joining them? What??? Of course!
This wonderful man is volunteering his time, has put together an entire year long course, and is meeting with Thomas right now at the lodge to catch him up on the two classes he missed! Holy Moly!! Life blows my mind sometimes!! Yes! Thank You … And Bring Us More Please …. xoxoxoxoxoxo!!!!

Just sat down to eat my breakfast and this is what I found …. A #LEGO minifigure hiding out in Thomas’ cup of nuts. Thomas adds so much fun and happiness to my life! ♡
We had so many congratulating Thomas and asking for information to pre-order the upcoming book, I couldn’t remember who all had asked. Here’s the link … Includes information about the book, how to order, and the first book trailer
Coming Fall 2016, Biggest Little Photographer
While you won’t find photographs of the highest quality and clarity within this book, you will find love, inspiration, and the knowing that whatever you dream, whatever you want to accomplish, it CAN be done.
And you will find that life is what happens between asking, “Can I do that?” and “I DID IT!” xoxoxo …https://www.BiggestLittlePhotographer.com

Thomas and I went on a date while Lillian was having her therapies (ST, OT and PT). Mr. T had some Christmas money to spend and wanted to buy a Lego set.
Went to Toys r Us and headed straight for the Lego section. Thomas found MANY sets he wanted and other things after he got done looking at the Lego section. I collected a few that were right around $20 for him to decide. He was having such a hard time so I thought maybe if I went and found two Lego sets that still kept him within his budget he might like that. SCORE! That was it. I found several to give him a choice from and he was so relieved that I helped him with his problem. He chose the LEGO Creator Blue Roadster 6913 (amazon affiliate link) and the Lego Tiny Turbo 8302 Rod Rider (amazon affiliate link).
After that we went to Sonic and each got one of the $1 Vanilla Cones. Perfect ending to a perfect date with Team Member T! I ♥♥♥♥♥ that little boy!
