A new name

For the last few days I have been trying to teach Thomas who he is.  I will ask him and he just smiles (and occasionally says Eric...?)  I will show him a picture of himself and he just smiles and says, "who's that" in the cute way that only he can do.  I will hold him in front of the mirror to show him that he is Thomas and I am mommy... in the mirror and all the time.  It doesn't seem to help.  He responds when I say his name of course.  I just can't get him to say his name.  THOMAS.

Until today.  Now when you ask him who he is, he replies, "Tommy!"  Today he got a new name and with the name came a whole new man.

THOMAS BEFORE:  


TOMMY AFTER:  



The curls are gone, and even though he looks like a whole new person to me Tommy is still the same old Thomas.

Wow, the curls were really cute, but he looks so much older without them! What a cute boy!

You got rid of the curls?!?! I would love if Jay was curly! He's of course still so cute :) and is totally a Dunn. Course I don't know Daniel's family well enough to know what characteristics come from his side, but he's sure got a lot of Sadie and Evan in him!

What a handsome little man. The short hair makes his eyes really pop. Can't wait to see him in person in a few months!

It was so hard on me when I first cut Desmond's hair his little baby curls gone for good.
Des is saying his name too lately and it's so cute, I had no idea and then one day he saw a picture of himself and he said "Des!"
