Halfway to Five

On the occasion of the big 4.5, here are some recent Tommy adventures.  With all the recent talk around here about Kindergarten, four and a half is pretty exciting as it just means we're closer to 5, when things get real! (as far as Tommy's concerned)

The boys recently visited Land's End and the Sutro Baths.  They were supposed to also see the Blue Angels, but as you can see from the backdrop, the Angels did not fly that afternoon.






oops, come back Blue Angels.  The sun came out right after you cancelled your show!


Today at the zoo, Tommy threw a coin in the fountain and made a wish.  He told me he wished that he could have his own iPad for his birthday.  HA!  Here is his playing Presidents vs Aliens

Here he told me he was going to write out some math problems.  This is what he came up with!  On a daily basis, this kid blows me away and cracks me up.


Friday night we enjoyed the Halloween carnival at his school.  This is not his real Halloween costume, we didn't want to spoil that one, so here's his stand-by costume.



Here he and his friend Sam represent Star Wars.  I said, "Sam, you're Luke Skywalker!"  he said "No, I'm a rebel pilot!"  I can see why he and Tommy are friends.  Sticklers...

Add one Green Lantern, Benjamin


The penguin is Shen.  Shen and Tommy share the same birthday except Shen is one year older (...and one foot taller).


And welcome to the newest members of our household.  Tommy won two goldfish at the carnival so we picked them up at the pet store.  Tommy picked out their names:  John and Gerald.  (He denies that they are named after Kennedy and Ford but he did have his presidents book open when I asked him what he wanted to name the fish)




We went to the zoo today with Lucy.  But here are some big Tommy pics.

Tom (precise age unavailable, but Tom zoomed in, identified the Giants shirt he was wearing and estimates it to be either the 1987 or 1989 season, so about 7-9 years old).



Happy Half Birthday Tommy!
