Tommy News

Just a quick note about Tommy. He had his 2 year appointment last week. He's off the charts as far as his height goes, and the doc warned us about people expecting too much from him since he looks older than he is. Or as someone else put it, the trouble is that people think your kid is an idiot.

In any case, one of the things John and I chuckled over today is his sheer enthusiasm. He will literally yell these single words out -- not out of anger or TRYING to be loud per se...it just seems that he is way excited about them! "WA-GA" when he sees a big body of water. Or "CHOO TRAIN". Or "SISSY!" or "DADDY"!. Or when he's wondering where one of those things are, he just changes the intonation. "DADDY?" - with this incredibly inquisitive look, and palms up in the air. He's definitely got his oral punctuation marks down pat.

He's also a cuddly little monster. Loves his soft blankets and if you offer him one of those (with a book as icing on the cake), he'll pretty much cuddle up with you, no questions asked.
