This weekend I was off doing something, and Derek decided to film Tommy again. Tommy and I decided to watch it today.: (Please excuse the mess–I usually try to pick up things and sortof clear a path before preserving the state of our house for posterity, but it IS hard to do with a little dude…)

Today Tommy got a boo-boo on his finger, and it wasn’t enough for me to kiss it and make it better. We’d been reading Doctor Dan, the Bandage Man, so he knew that he needed to wash his hands and put on a bandaid to make it better-than-new. So we did. He kept holding it […]
Keeping Busy
Posted in Tommy on Dec 8th, 2008
Guess who ate an entire batch of macaroni and cheese for lunch? That would be this dude. I hadn’t told our babysitter about portion control… When he’s not eating, Tommy also enjoys investigating the workings of electronic devices throughout the home…
Today Tommy and I braved the subzero windchill and headed downtown to meet up with my South Bend friends Rachelle and Leslie and their mom and Tommy’s friend Aidan. Tommy and Aidan hadn’t seen each other since Leslie visited us in St Louis last fall, when Aidan was about to crawl and Tommy was getting […]
Teeth 10 and 11
Posted in Tommy on Dec 4th, 2008
They’ve arrived! (Well, 10 came in a couple weeks ago, but I didn’t get a good toothy smile and until today.) You can see his left lower lateral inciser better because it’s bigger, but his right has poked through if you look close!
December already

I can’t believe it’s December already! Today Tommy and I ran all over the north side of the city running errands…delivering cupcakes to Caris, getting stamps, picking up our Christmas letter from the printers, and getting lost a bit, too. Why are there so many one-way streets near Loyola University? The best moment of the […]
Well, we made it back home, despite the crazy weather that started minutes before we left Detroit! Our week with Derek’s fam was lots of fun…especially because Tommy really bonded with Uncle Matthew and Uncle Jason! Uncle Jason taught Tommy how to play games on a Blackberry. Um, thanks, Jason? I let Derek go to […]
A Good Report
Posted in Tommy on Nov 26th, 2008
After weeks of relentless naughtiness and discipline, I am very pleased to announce that Tommy made it through the day yesterday without being disciplined once! God was good to me–I had a meltdown last week, Derek had to be at work for 13.5 hours on Monday, I was seeing no fruit for my labors, and […]
Using utensils
Posted in Tommy on Nov 25th, 2008
Okay, so next time Tommy sleeps in, I won’t tell anyone about it…he was up before Derek left for work this morning, and he actually fell asleep in his playpen at 10:30! Obviously he’s confused. We’ve been offering Tommy a fork or spoon with meals for about a year now, but he just wasn’t that […]
