Just Say "No"

Last Sunday Logan decided that Tommy's wardrobe needed some attitude, so he got...creative. When I saw how he was dressing our child, my closest comparison was John Cusack in his glory days in the 80s. It was goofy, but cute on a 17 month old.

Tommy's getting so much personality! This week his focus has been on the word "no." He keeps testing the waters to see what happens when he says it, and it's quite entertaining. When it was time to read stories before bed tonight, we decided to give Tommy the option of picking his book, so we held them up one by one.

"Do you want to read Brown Bear?"

(short pause)

"No." So we put the book away.

"Do you want to read Go Dog Go?"

"No." (a little faster)

"Do you want to read Eyes Nose Fingers To--"

"No!"

He actually started laughing towards the end. We eventually did get to read to him, but it took a while for him to agree on anything. It's just too much fun saying "No!"

Baby #2

I borrowed Mom's scanner yesterday, so I've finally taken the time to scan in the ultrasound I had on the 18th showing my new baby! It's a little hard to see clearly (as all ultrasounds are), but in this photo his head is on the right, and the large circle on the left is his abdomen. He's holding his hands above his head, so they look kind of like a crown. His face is very skull-like in this image--I like to joke with Logan that he looks like the main character from the Nightmare Before Christmas. (You've probably noticed the use of "he" quite frequently in this paragraph. The nurse that did the ultrasound said that she was about 75% sure it's a boy, but because it was about 15 weeks it's a bit early to say with absolute certainty. But, in the meantime, we'll just plan on one!)

In other news, Logan's regional wrestling tournament was this weekend, and he won third place! This means he'll be going to nationals during spring break, which are conveniently located in Virginia Beach this year. Tommy and I plan to attend to support him :-) We were very proud of him today!
