Today's Toby

Mom and Dad, you guys really need to start taking on more responsibility around here. I can't be expected to do everything myself.  Folks, this is not funny. I'm serious.   

It can be a little sobering to learn that you have less money in your account than you thought you had.  

This adventure to Manhattan is great and all but we could have just skipped right to the ice cream.   

On our trip into Manhattan, we checked out a new playground. 

Toby's first time taking the subway in over a year. It was very exciting.   Always good to check the map to see if they made changes.

Can't pose now, Dad.  Ice Cream with M&Ms is serious business.

Playing with Seal at the playground.   

How can I convince Mom and Dad that bedtime should actually be playtime?  

Today's project was marbling paper with shaving cream and food coloring. God bless the internet.  

Working on our cutting skills.  

Inching taller and taller  

Ready for whatever comes down the slide.  

  Mom, get a picture of me like this for the blog!  (We may have created a monster.)

Enjoying some sunlight on the playground.   

The only thing more fun than helping to get ready for Dad's birthday, is helping him open his presents. Happy Birthday Dad! We love you!   

How much we love going to the store? We love it so much, we play store at home.   

Pushing dried leaves down the holes. A favorite fall activity in the spring. The leaves and the mask say fall, the t-shirt says spring is here!  

Securing his mask and ready for an important mission.   

Who is that chirpy yellow umbrella bobbing and weaving down the sidewalk? We may never know.  

Took a long walk to a new playground.  We had fun with the dinosaurs!  

Toby was lukewarm about his bike for a good long time, but the warmer weather seems to have renewed his interest.   

Always nice to have something to read with breakfast. What have you been up to District 29 City Council member Karen Koslowitz? Oh, looks like she made funding available for schools.  Great.  But what have you done for those of us who read upside down? Wait, this is hard to read.  Did it get darker in here? Much better.  Back to breakfast.  Now where did that newsletter go?
