For Derek, who only got to see Tommy for about 2 minutes today…and may I add that Tommy picked out this ensemble himself:

Friday Doldrums
Posted in Tommy on Jan 23rd, 2009
Well, this has just been a tough week all around, from being sick to having two dear friends lose loved ones, to having Derek work late.=( But there are two things I’m trying to be thankful for as we get through the Friday doldrums–first of all, when I went to PT today, the therapist said […]
This weekend Tommy and I took a quick visit to South Bend to see some old friends. Tommy loved staying with his buddy Aidan. The boys were so cute together, and since they’re just two weeks apart, it was fun to see how they’re both into the same things–cars, puzzles, learning to count and say the […]
That rummy fourth molar has finally come through the skin. After pretending to grow for the past two months, it cut through with a vengeance last night/this morning. We’re extremely hopeful that Tommy will go back to sleeping through without a 4 am wake-up-and-scream now that tooth #12 is here! (And it’s really hard to […]
Fun With a Laundry Basket
Posted in Tommy on Jan 16th, 2009
I have a new personal fashion consultant. He’s 23 months old and has a proclivity for overalls. As soon as he discovered that we both own a pair, he became very vocal with his preferences. Every morning he asks to wear his overalls. If they’re in the hamper, it’s a bad day. If Mommy is […]
The Staircase
Posted in Tommy on Jan 13th, 2009
Our staircase is the site of most of our discipline “events” these days. (Last week I realized that I wasn’t making sure Tommy had a change of heart, yet another of the many mistakes I will make during parenting, so I’ve revamped our discipline. I’ve been encouraged by my mom’s Bible study to go full-circle: […]
Cleaning Day
Posted in Homemaking, Tommy on Jan 8th, 2009
***warning: good housewives may want to skip this post, as certain confessions may shock and disgust them and make them never want to set foot in my kitchen again*** I’m taking a break from housecleaning to blog. Sigh. The good thing about having in-laws who live in an immaculate house is that when they’re coming over, […]
My Little Man

Tommy wore his new outfit from Uncle Piko (vest and hat) and Grandma Willett (pants) to church yesterday. Doesn’t he just look like a little man?
A Saturday in Tommy's library
Posted in Children's Books, Tommy on Jan 4th, 2009
Em and I have often discussed Tommy’s reading habits. He loves reading–we hope it’s part-hereditary, part-learned. (No, I’m not saying that he’s gifted. Do not misinterpret this post.) So what’s a day in Tommy’s library like? What books would he ask us to read him in a typical day? I decided to catalog Saturday as […]
