Strong boy!

If three and a half hours of fresh air and exercise could induce labor, I’d be in the hospital by now. Tommy was up early, so we hit the mean sidewalks of Chicago at 6:45 and visited the grocery store, picked up bagels for breakfast, had a diaper change break back home, then walked over […]
Dressing Himself (sortof)
Posted in Tommy on Apr 29th, 2009
Recently my friend Dana told me that she’s been trying to foster Reagan’s independence by giving her little choices during the day. She’s been reading about how kids between the ages of 2 and 3 are capable of making small decisions and even dressing themselves (not our kiddos yet, though…maybe when they get closer to […]
First (Official) Ice Cream Cone!
Posted in Tommy on Apr 27th, 2009
Last night it was such a beautiful evening that I begged Derek to let us go take Tommy out for his first ice cream cone. He actually had one last summer when a certain family member was babysitting and didn’t understand that “no dairy and no refined sugar” meant no ice cream. So he had […]
Family time, bargains, and hanging out
Posted in Children's Books, Family, Tommy on Apr 25th, 2009
Today has been a lovely Saturday…this morning, we hit up the semi-lame Lincoln Square kid’s day. Lincoln Square wants to be cool, but they haven’t quite figured out how to actually have things going on at their special event days. Basically, we walked around. Tommy liked walking with Daddy. And he got a pinwheel, which […]
No baby yet…thanks to those who have been checking in, though!…and friends from church have been determined to help me induce labor if possible through walking/play dates these past couple warm days. Tommy has loved the playtime with his friends, but no contractions have resulted yet. This afternoon, an abbreviated nap meant that Tommy had […]
The gospel from a two year old

Yesterday afternoon I came upon Tommy reading his Bible in bed. “Jesus died cross nonny sins [for our naughty sins]!” he told me. “What happened after three days?” I asked. “Rose dead!”
Kitchen Photo Shoot
Posted in Tommy on Apr 21st, 2009
Whenever Tommy sees the camera, he wants me to take a picture of him–“Pit-tur Tommy!” He’s gotten to the point of saying “Teese!” when I point the camera at him. Narcissist? Or attention hog? And anyone else think he looks a lot like Derek in this first pic?
Big Boy Bed
Posted in Tommy on Apr 20th, 2009
Well, we made the big switch this weekend–Tommy is officially in a big boy bed! We kept the crib in his room for a couple nights just in case things didn’t work out again and we had to put him back, but he is loving his new robot sheets. He got out of bed a […]
Finally Enjoying the Backyard
Posted in Tommy on Apr 17th, 2009
Yesterday the sun finally made it to Chicago–so Tommy spent several hours outside! We went to the playground in the morning, but while I made dinner, I needed my dude to stay in my sight. No problem when you have a big fenced-in backyard and a red wagon…who could ask for anything more?
