Today's Toby

They had Daniel Tiger books!  Fortunately Grandpa hadn't read this one so he listened too.

The first 10 minutes of a car trip are exciting. The rest...

It's good to be the king.

Road trips require stops to let Daddy get a break from driving.  Also, sometimes there are crowns and ice cream (!) sandwiches. ps - How come no one told me there were sandwiches made out of ice cream?  I'm never eating a normal sandwich again.

...If not to get yours hands dirty?

Dad's been working a LOT lately. I know he's pretty tired, so I helped him with his hair. That's what family's for - making sure your hair always looks great.

Who needs to think outside the box, when you can put all your favorite things inside the box. 

Verdict: the Daniel Tiger duck episode is much more exciting than the pepper episode, but both get our undivided attention.  Also, like most things in life, it's better when you watch it with your friends and a snack.

Entering the land of "hurry up and take the picture, Mom".

Walking the curb is good practice for walking the Red Carpet, though I'm pretty sure there should be more photographers. 

Without the humidity of summer to curl his hair, it was time for a cut. Looking smart! (And even more grown-up.)

Woah! What kind of wizardry is this? Did you just see what I saw?!?

Firefighter Toby!

When you're all snuggled up... And mom tells you you look "so cute!"

Have you been naughty or nice?

There can't possibly be this many places in the world. Pretty sure most of these are made up.

...how to live your life. Take this fine piece of blue plastic furniture.  "That's a step-stool," they said. Uh, nope. Don't think so. This here thing is a personal picnic bench. I mean, look at it. You see it, right? The table-top attached to the bench. Personal picnic bench, party of one. So, when people try and pull a fast one on you, look them square in the face and say, "I do my own thinking, thank you very much." Also, make sure you've got your water cup and your bowl of wheat thins with you. I almost missed this opportunity because Mom only had teeth brushing and bath taking on the agenda. Yeesh. You want one?

Look out world, there's trouble to be made. Just kidding. I would never.

In case you had were thinking that our little boy was still a little boy...

These boxes of juice are fantastic. If only the straws were a little longer. 

Thank you all for coming this evening...wait I didn't direct this show at all. Oh no!

The weather took a turn this week. Fortunately Toby was prepared thanks to the great coat from the Ross family and the monkey hat from Grandma Wright.
