Tommy ponders the future

While visiting his friend Graham today, Tommy was faced with a number of difficult questions. You can see here Tommy pondering his first conundrum: whether Earth Dog and Space Dog can peacefully coexist, and together made to serve his future plans for world conquest.



And here you can see the depth of Tommy's anguish over his various dilemmas -- he's so worried that half of his face has imploded! Poor kid.

Random Christmas shots

Nothing too exciting going on here, just Tommy enjoying spending time with family. I think he was starting to get a bit confused as to why Catherine was spending so much time taking pictures of him rather than playing with him, but that's OK.


And here we have Tommy demonstrating to Daddy how to impale a basket of kittens on a marker. He's trying to ensure that he has no further problems with dissidents opposing his reign.

Cake is serious business

As you can see, Tommy takes his cake very seriously. It's important to eat cake properly -- any unseemly enthusiasm could diminish his stature as a future world conqueror.

(I'd kinda forgotten that I had pictures still sitting on my camera from Tommy's birthday.)

Tommy conquers the Maritimes!

With Tommy's conquest of Ottawa progressing so well, he's decided it's time to expand his efforts. Here we can see him making sure that his minions are safe by verifying the quality of... I dunno, I guess those are stairs? Huh. Dunno why he's doing that. I wasn't there, so I can't really comment, but now I feel bad for the poor kid if the only thing they'll let him play with is stairs.


Undaunted by the lack of play equipment, Tommy managed a coup and captured a portion of the local harvest, to help feed his growing army. Here he surveys his haul, and it pleases him. Unless he's actually waiting for the Great Pumpkin? I guess that could be what's going on too. Really, I don't know. I'm just making stuff up here.

Tommy hungers!

Why yes, my son is planning to chomp your face. Why do you ask?

The Many Moods of Tommy

here we see Tommy being both happy and excited. I'm not entirely certain what he was excited about, perhaps the dinosaurs on his PJs, but whatever it was, he's pretty excited about it. So excited, in fact, that he distorted space and time around himself and caused the walls to appear tilted! It was in no way a problem with the camera being unlevel. That would be silly.


Here we see the other side of Tommy's personality, as he carefully examines something, deep in thought. Still happy, of course. Even though he's terribly ill. Really, it's a hard job, raising this kid.

Also: Tommy asked me to say "Happy Birthday, Nanny!"

Another playground shot

To make up for the long delay, here's a picture of Tommy being pleased with the local slide's solid construction. He was checking it to make sure that his minions would be safe while exercising. In no way was he giggling with delight as his mommy played with him on the slide or pushed him on the swing. Nosiree, this future world conqueror is all business.
