Thomas Learns to Tie

Thomas learned how to tie! Well....sort of. He didn't learn to tie his shoes. He learned how to tie a neck tie! Several months ago, Thomas became obsessed with the movies The Night at the Museum and its sequel. He loves Ben Stiller's character "Larry Daley". "Larry", the night guard, wears a jacket, "slacks", boots, a set of keys, a flash light, and of course...a neck tie! Thomas often dresses like Larry and doesn't want to come out of character. When he requested a neck tie, which Papa provided, Ken and I were stumped on how to tie it when it accidently became untied. We actually watched YouTube tutorials on how to tie a tie, but we never got the hang of it. Papa had to teach us the correct way. Well, since Thomas dresses in chracter so often we end up re-tying it several times a day. That's when Thomas surprised us this week! He learned how to do it himself! We now have hope that he'll learn to tie his shoes!
