the mail is here!

One of the highlights of Thomas' day is the arrival of our friendly mailman. Sometimes we'll greet him on the porch or in front of the house. Lately though he's been arriving while we are eating lunch so Thomas and I open the mail while we eat. Thomas' favorites are the envelopes that contain an envelope. He opens the mailed envelope, locates the return envelope and immediately goes about sealing it up for mailing. Sometimes he'll stuff something in it before sealing it up. The mail has definitely become a fun thing for him to receive and send. He enjoys helping me stamp and seal my envelopes and often we'll walk them up to the post office for the full experience. He's also been known to mail a few of his own letters. I'm sure his love of receiving daily mail will change in about 16 years when he's receiving his own bills.
