A Kid Called Tommy

This is Tommy.



He’s 8 and is about to start third grade.



He’s as loud as he looks.



He thinks things like farts and Jake Pavelka trying to act are hilarious.



He wants to know about everything.



How do tornados form?



Will I ever be a really fast swimmer?



Do girls think I’m cute?



Why is Ryan Seacrest so short?



Tommy has something called Aspergers.



But it doesn’t bother him.



Because he plans on conquering the world.

Great post! How do you get your kids to stand there for so many pictures? My daughter let's me get one or two tops and then runs off!

I think we all want to know why Ryan Seacrest is so short.

And who doesn't think farts are funny?

He is getting so big and handsome! I know you're one proud mama.

The first picture brought a giant smile to my face. One that never left during the rest of the post. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful boy!

Jen said...

Who is Jake Pavelka?

I'm happy to see Tommy getting some "equal time" in front of the camera!!

He's a good lookin' kid.

Wow, third grade, seriously?

He's really looking less little-boyish and more big-boyish these days. :)

Looks to me as if Tommy already has the world by the tail. You go, Tommy! Don't let go.

What a handsome young man!

middle child said...

"He wants to know about everything." Start now with the listening. You lean so much from kids. Your son is very adorable and will grow to be quite handsome. Sometimes you can look at a boy and see the adult.

Chris said...

He is so cute! Thanks for sharing the pictures. You have a great attitude about aspergers and I am glad Tommy does not let it bother him.

You are an awesome mom and a brave woman to continue to live in Wyoming while Tom is away.

If I need a lift I read your blog and always end up smiling. You are a great writer with a good sense of humor.

Lindy Leigh said...

Darling post!!! I love the faces...beautiful blue eyes...wow!

Gigi said...

Yup, I can definitely see Tommy taking the world by storm (so to speak. Because you know, of his fondness for tornadoes). And wowing the girls with those gorgeous eyes and beautiful smile!

Sara L. said...

How cute! Love the one where he is laughing!

cathyjoy said...

you go tommy! the world could use some conquering about now...

Leah Rubin said...

Tommy is a doll, and I believe he CAN conquer the world!

My cousin's son has Asperger's, so I know something about the challenges you-all face. He's lucky to have such a great mom!

RN Mama said...

Such an adorable boy!! I hope he has a great year!

P.S. Did you read Jodi Piccoult's book about the boy with Asberger's? This is maybe a stupid question, but just wondering if it's actually anything like she portrayed it?

Megan said...

You have some cute kids. And I hope Tommy totally rocks 3rd grade!

Andrea said...

What a beautiful little boy. BTW what kind of camera do you use? the lighting or the camera (or the kid!) or something is really superb about these pics.

Oh, and I havent forgotten about the apron but I have this part time job thingy I have been working on... I will get to it soon!!

Daffy said...

Of course he does...and with a smile like that he will surely succeed!

Dawn said...

Tommy is absolutely adorable. And you're a fabulous photographer.

kerberos90 said...

I have no doubt that Tommy won't conquer the world, he is such a sweet kid who wont let anything or anyone stop him!

Shylah Santiago said...

I love working with kids who have aspergers and autism. They're usually the sweetest ones around. Tommy really can do anything he wants! Let him know that!

yogini cowgirl said...

the world is Tommy's to conquer! I have no doubt!

Ness said...

I love the photos and comments :)
My youngest brother has aspbergers and you know what?I think you are right that it cant stop him from conquering the world... It's just sad how some people are so ignorant and nasty to anyone thats different...

LisaDay said...

And Tommy will succeed. Good luck in Grade 3, Tommy.

Chels said...

Snap. I usually don't comment if there's a crap load of comments already - but he is just far too cute not to echo what everyone else has already said. So cute - I love it!

Kathleen said...

He is such a handsome little boy. Truly!

My cousin has Asperger's too, and he's living a great life.

Sup yo. said...

What a cutie!

My nephew (who will be 5 in October) was just diagnosed with Asperger's.
