FOUR

Tommy turned 4 last week. Can't believe it. Where have the past 3 1/2 years gone? This year's party was a Star Wars theme and instead of trains and cars, my house is filled with light sabers, Tie fighters, and Jedis!

In other news, we received a referral for a baby boy who was born in South Korea on February 14 of this year! We received the referral at the end of July and will hopefully travel to Seoul in the spring. We have not yet decided on a name, but Tommy has been calling him "Baby Andy" and likes to talk about all of the things he will teach him - and also how he'll put him in time out if he's naughty!

Sweetness

I haven't blogged in ages, thanks to the addicting nature of Facebook. I couldn't pass this one up, though. Yesterday Tommy was being his usual 3 1/2 year old-independent-self and did not want to nap, so he had to stay in his room for "quiet time." When I went to check on him this is what I found - a book in the bed next to him and he was zonked out. I just watched him sleep and reminded myself to soak up every moment. He is growing bigger and older everyday, and his three years with us have flown by. Soon he won't nap, soon he won't need us for so many of the little things we've grown accustomed to. So for now I will enjoy it.
