Off to Market
Well it's time for the annual Farmer's Market in Pacifica and Tommy kicked things off yesterday with Grandma and Papa. They got the VIP treatment from Farmer John. While the other people picked through a basket of peas out in front of their booth, Farmer John (now also Mayor of Half Moon Bay!) escorted Tommy and Papa to the back of his truck and the special box of peas that hadn't been picked through yet! Good stuff! (pics by Grandma)

Channeling Joey
I'm lately convinced that Tommy and Joey are getting online after hours and keeping each other posted on what to do and what to say.
When both boys gave up their binkys a couple of weeks ago, both separately exclaimed word for word "I'm not a big boy, I'm a baby!"
Sara reports that halfway through Mother's Day yesterday, Joey proclaimed it "Joey Day." Hmmm... sometime around 7:30am I was informed it was "Tommy Day" despite the adorable card I'd just been given with Tommy's name scrawled on it (with Daddy's help!)
Finally, late last week Tommy, out of nowhere, announced that he'd like to sleep in his "big boy bed." We've had that toddler bed sitting in his room for almost a year and I was going to try transitioning him this summer (when we could sleep in if it didn't work). But this kid makes up his own mind about things and so we're 4-5 nights into Tommy sleeping in his big boy bed. We did not master naptime in the bed over the weekend, but with some reading and snuggling (not comfortable in that tiny bed) he falls asleep and (mostly) stays there. Thank goodness for the gate on his room that keeps him in when he does wake up! Here's a picture I snuck this evening - it's not very good but I wasn't going to gamble with waking him up to get a good picture!
The last way he was like Joey this week was when Uncle Tim gave him a lollipop at Eagle Pizza - because Joey gets a lollipop if he eats his pizza! I think this was Tommy's first lollipop, at least that we let him hold. These are cute pics. Not pictured the major meltdown when we wrestled the lollipop from his sticky hands.
sigh... did we skip right over 2 and jump to 3? Joey needs to put Tommy in his place, please!

Relay Recovery
Thank you to all of you who supported me in last weekend's Relay for Life. I really appreciate your contribution and your support of cancer research. I wanted to share a couple of pictures of my team. I had about 18 students come and go throughout the day and I had 10 dedicated (and crazy) students who spent the night... in the rain... the day before AP exams began! Our team probably raised almost $2000! Thank you again for your support.

2 year check up
Tommy had a great check up today. He really performed for the doctor! The only camera I had was Tommy's... I took a picture but haven't looked at it yet.
Here are the stats:
Weight - 26lbs 7 oz - 25-30%ile (phew, 3 oz bigger than Marco - big cousin pride in tact for now!)
Height - 33 1/4 in - 20%ile
Head - 48.5cm - 75%ile
Happy and healthy and growing just fine for somebody of his predestined stature!
