Today's Toby

Schmoby Boby's the name. Eating chocolate is my game.  

Toby got a crystal growing kit as one of his Christmas gifts. He and Dad had a great time setting it up. The finished product!   

Toby got some geography puzzles for Christmas. He found all his favorite pieces first: 🇦🇷 🇬🇭 🇺🇿  Africa and Latin America.  ✔️  Canada, USA, and the World. ✔️  Asia and Europe. ✔️   

I went on a trip and I brought an Apple, a Boat, a Camel...  

Grandpa, I didn't realize you were so good at dot art. Is this where I get it from?  

Cousins are the absolute best.  

Well hello, 2022!  

Explaining the finer points of country marble racing to a rapt audience.  

The marble run at Grandma and Grandpa Wright's is serious business.   

It seems that Toby and Cousin Kira have formed a Bananagrams alliance.  

You can't see it in this picture, but he's looking at the snow that was falling outside.   

This is what winning Candyland looks like.   

A picture from Toby's holiday party at school.   

  This time of year, if you're wearing stripes, you must be an elf.

One of our neighbors dropped off some Christmas gifts for Toby and Spencer. Toby was having a great time playing with his. (I promise that this is him having fun.)  

Wheeeeee!  

Mixing up birthday cupcakes for Mommy! And carefully adding the icing Not pictured, Toby being very generous with the sprinkles.  So generous Daddy couldn't have his phone out at the same time.  

Doing some at-home Covid testing. Not the cutest scene, but certainly representative of this moment in time.  

Having fun riding under the platforms at the playground.   

When realize that Santa comes in just over a week.  

Since our wreath is made with real evergreen bows, we're supposed to spray it with water twice a week. Toby takes this responsibility very seriously. (It doesn't hurt that he loves spraying the water.)  

A throwback to Thanksgiving. These were pictures from their Thanksgiving feast.  

Turns out, empty wrapping paper tubes make excellent car tunnels.  

These flakes were few in numbers but mighty in size.  

It was unseasonably warm today, but the threat of rain kept the playground clear.  Perfect conditions for lots of great bike riding.
