On his 2nd birthday, Toby is:
- 32 lbs and just shy of 35" tall- an inch taller than his sister was at the same age. Wears mostly size 3 clothes, but some size 2 or 18m pants.
- Mostly potty trained. For two months he's been a rock star, pees, poops, nightime. Just in the last week he's had quite a few accidents, a bit of a regression I guess. Woke up dry this morning for the first time in a week and had no accidents today!
- As sweet as ever. He really is a gentle soul- sensitive, quiet, thoughtful. And funny, energetic, and loud too.
- Still waking up several times at night. Yawn, I really hope this stops soon!
- Teething again. Just popped his 3rd two-year molar.... only one more to go. Maybe he'll start sleeping better when teething is over with.
- Playing with Willow! She directs him in all kinds of imaginative play; picnics, doggies, restaurant.
- Anything that moves. Trains especially. I'm convinced boys are wired to be drawn to things with wheels, and all things that go.
- Sweets! I dread giving him treats. His reaction when I don't give him more is very dramatic. He screams and cries for "more treats, mooooooore. please? Mummy, pleeease" and then the temper tantrum starts. His tantrums are intense and there is no reasoning with him. It's usually easier to skip the treat all together.
- Dora the Explorer. He loves the show, thinks Boots is the greatest ever. And Swiper.
- Singing, dancing, music, being outside, playing the piano, bouncing on his bed.
- Count to 10.
- Identify most colours correctly. Gets tripped up on red/green/yellow.
- Remember the words to his favorite books and songs and will read/sing along with me.
- Melt my heart! He is generous with I Love You's and tells me at the best times.
