Today's Toby

Mom, can we stay to play on the playground? [2 seconds later] I'm hungry. I need a snack.  

When even you can't believe how wonderful your craft project turned out.  

Rocking his Kansas t-shirt for this year's school pictures.  

Toby happened to wake up before Spencer (often it's the other way around) and wanted to sit by the Christmas tree.  

Walking home with Uncle Scott after some quality playground time.  

Working through the soft-play labyrinth at Legoland. Up here, Dad!  

Coin spinning with Uncle Scott.  

 Doing his best turkey impression on Turkey Day. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Toby invented this great new game and Spencer took to it immediately.  Some things are just more fun when you have a buddy to share it with.  

Toby and some of his friends helped stuff donation bags for Central School's Thanksgiving food drive. Work is more fun with friends.  

Looking sly. And snug.  

Getting some sillies out at bathtime.   

The 3:05 is always a few minutes late. If you board at the back, it's easier to find a seat. Take it from me. I'm a local!  

When you're chatting and you casually end up in 4th position.  

Getting some pre-school reading time in.  

The gloves and coat are on. It's pretty chilly when the sun goes down.  

We were inspired to pull out the hairdryer to try some of our own airstream magic.  

Toby had 2 days off from school last week, so we took the opportunity to try some new activities. For this this one, we heated some rocks in the oven and then and then colored on them by letting the crayons melt against the hot rock. Toby is eager to do it again. (Mom, is holding off until there's a rock exit plan.)  

Some well-earned snacks after swim classes.  

Toby's not too fond of pigeons in real life... but we were sure not to tell this guy that.  

... for a sleigh ride together with you, pigeon   

Our Manhattan adventure included several signs. And some goofballs. Spencer also wanted to get in on the fun.  

Always happy to chat. Especially, at bedtime.  

Taking a moment to celebrate the light of Diwali.  

He had fun wearing it and fun taking it apart.
