Today's Toby

Hanging out together... featuring night shirt.  Life is good.

There are so many great books that I want to read, I don't even know where to start.

Mom had a friend who was getting their home photo studio set up, so we went to check it out. And we brought mom's skeleton. Like you do.

Dad, lift me up like I'm flying! Everyone will think I'm Superman. It'll be great. No, not with tickles! Perfect! Whoooooosh. Mom, were you filming that? Because I think if we send that to Warner Brothers, it's a done deal.

We had some family photos done way back in September. It feels like it was ages ago. We're looking forward to warmer weather and more fun in the sun.

Would you like some lemonade?  We also have hotdogs and hot tea today. If you're getting this post by email, click on the post title to view the video.

Ok, Red Duck and Blue Duck, this is it the last time. Sing loud and proud. RUBBER DUCKY YOU'RE THE ONE!!! Shhh. I think I hear someone coming.  Act cool. Nothing to see here. 

What do you mean you don't stand for your portrait in your bathtub? Some people have no sense of innovation. 

M&M's once a day is not nearly enough M's. I'm going to have to talk to your manager. 

I have studied every article in this flyer. It's a tough choice between the pork chops and the chicken.  But my final answer is chicken. Because that way we can finally ask the chicken why it crossed the road.

That's why I'm so tall.

It's all about selecting the right ingredients.  This here is the secret ingredient. I would tell you what it is, but, like I said, it's a secret.

Toby's adoration for Margaret Tiger knows no bounds. He cannot abide her pain, no matter how small. Which is tricky when you're a cartoon baby because most of the storylines that feature you will involve a moment of crying because a) dramatic tension and b) you're too little to talk. (Not pictured: the 10 minutes of SOBBING because we happened upon 30 seconds of Margaret crying. )

But one of us should definitely investigate what's going on over there. (I would do it, but I'm right in the middle of eating this cucumber.)

Look Daddy Elmo, it's just like I told Baby Elmo, we're gonna go out there and give it all we got. Run faster than the other monsters and put the ball where it's supposed to go. You got this! I think I'm really cut out for this coaching thing. It's like it just comes naturally to me.

Juice boxes and the New York Mets.

Mom, if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times. We are closed for the holidays. I'm the boss and I pick the holidays and today is definitely one of them. Is she gone? Do you think she actually bought that?
