Hired!

Not surprisingly, Aunt Nancy hired me as her Cabana Boy. I reported for duty for the first time this past Sunday. I was pretty excited about my big debut.
Once we got there, I couldn't believe how many people were there! I guess my muscle reputation had preceded me. I was a little overwhelmed and didn't really enjoy the temperature of the water at first. But I let daddy gradually put me in and then it got better. Here we are looking cool for the Ladies in our sunglasses.
After a while, mommy joined me in the pool, and helped get me on my raft so that people could admire my physique. One little cutie, Katie, wanted to swim by me. I can't really blame her. I do look good in this suit. I decided to give her a little encouragement, let her know that I thought she was special, so I gave her a little pat on the head. She seemed pretty appreciative.

But Katie wasn't the only one that wanted my attention. Everyone wanted a piece of Thomas. I can't lie, I do look a bit like Tom Cruise in the beach volleyball scene from Top Gun. Oddly enough I'm already about as tall as Mr. Cruise.


After all the fawning of the ladies, I was a little tired and hungry. I allowed Grandma to administer my snack, and lounged in her lap for a while. I was exhausted, but there was too much activity going on, and I didn't want to miss anything by taking a nap. Plus, I need to keep an eye on mommy at all times. Sometimes she tries to leave my line of sight, and that makes me most unhappy.

We're thinking about going back to the pool this weekend. Mommy and I really need to work on our tans.
