What was Thomas like as a baby and as a child?

 Thomas was stubborn from day one.  He was born 3 weeks late.  He was supposed to be born at the end of May, but he came on June 15th. Weighing 7lb.  

He was Jandiced and we stayed in the hospital for a week.  I was told to take him home and lay him in the sun naked.  He loved basking in the Sun.

He had a speech problem.  Emily would actually answer questions for him. He was in speech from when he was 3 until he finished 8th grade.  

He started early loving to be outside. He loved to fish and hunt. Whenever he had the chance, he would be out going fishing.

But he was also very stubborn, especially about doing indoor chores.  He thought that was women's work.

He soon learned that inside and outside work was shared.
