Halloween 2012

 Ava was a Chinese Empress.

 Tommy was a very reluctant policeman....very reluctant!!  He wouldn't keep any of the costumes on--I finally got him the police outfit because it was just a jacket and a hat, and even then he wouldn''t wear the hat and only wore the jacket after being bribed!

 Still not happy about the costume!

 Finally!!  He realized that wearing that silly outfit and taking a pumpkin up to people paid off!!

 Belle was Barbie--she didn't like the blonde wig though, so I don't have any pics of her in her full costume!

 Random shot--Tommy has decided that shirts and shoes are NOT required at this establishment, and I frequently find him attired accordingly.  (He always starts the day with a shirt on, but somehow they always mysteriously disappear!)

Talking Baby

Today we went to the park.  There were a bunch of little boys--Tommy was in heaven!  One little boy came over and started talking to Tommy.  They went down the slide, tossed the football, and played in the dirt together, at which point the little boy says to Tommy, "You're wearing a diaper.  Why's you not wearing underwear?  You must be a baby....You're a talking baby!"  (Not mocking, just surprised.)  Tommy just kept on playing, so the little boy just started playing again too.  Tom and I were giggling--we had talked to the little boys dad, he is 4 1/2!  My sweet 2 year old is a 'talking  baby!'  Unfortunately, his size and vocabulary will keep others expecting more of him because they think he is older!  Oh well, more of him to love!  Gotta go...my talking baby told me his diaper needs changed!  :) 
(We did start potty training this week--cross your fingers!)
