I mentioned the other day that Thomas had become obsessed with tunnels due to my awesome tunnel building skills. But I didn't really explain why I believe they are so awesome. So here is the photographic proof of my awesomeness:
Check out that awesome couch cushion tunnel! The last one was actually better - it had a full 90 degree turn and incorporated his Elmo couch, but the front room gets a little hot in the afternoon and I thought more room might be nice. So a lazy turn it is!
Here's the little guy going through the tunnel. He's very insistent there be a door on the far end, so I try to leave enough gaps that it's not too dark in the tunnel.
But even though he demands a door, he rarely makes it that far... I get convinced he'll go all the way and suddenly a toddler comes crashing out the side!
As if that destruction was not enough, he then gets to work pulling down the sides of the tunnel as well...
Until it looks like the tunnel was hit by a mighty earthquake! Then, he looks around and yells "uh-oh tunnel!!" like he has no idea what happened. Ha! But his mommy dutifully picks up the cushions and builds it up again. We do this build up / tear down cycle until momma runs out of energy - I don't think Thomas ever runs out of energy...!
