Quotable Thomas

Yesterday I took the kids to the beach for a couple of hours. The babies got completely covered in sand. Lillie wasn't so sure about the whole thing (cold water, skinny baby), but Liam absolutely LOVED it - he was crawling all over the beach and digging rocks out of the sand. At one point he stood by the stroller and was giggling. It was wonderful to see my serious baby having such a great time, even if his twin was a little bit ambivalent about the whole thing.

Thomas had a great time, too. He is (at 6) becoming such a little man. When I picked him up from school I asked him what kind of underwear he had on to see if he could swim in them. He told me he didn't want to go to the beach but if we were going to go he was going to need to go home and get his swimsuit. So we did. Good thing, too, because the beach was, if not crowded, certainly full of people enjoying the record breaking temperatures (93 in San Francisco?!?! In April???). Thomas had a great time splashing in the water and rescuing ladybugs. There were a bizarre number of ladybugs on the beach.

Anyway, at one point I was making up a scenario of some sort for Thomas and he uttered this awesome quote:

"Mom, I don't believe in magic except for God and Santa Claus".

How I love that boy.
