I am constantly amazed by Toby. He and Micah are so different. Micah was able to communicate just about everything he wanted at this age by pointing and noises. Toby thinks he can talk and is trying so hard to do so. He will try and repeat anything you say if you ask him. He sings along to "baa baa black sheep" and "twinkle twinkle little star". He can say batman!!! Micah had all his animal noises at this age, but no words. Toby has a few animal noises and quite a few words.
One of my big frustrations is his ability to open DVD cases and take out DVDs and put them back in (because of course they're getting scratched on the way back into the case!). But just before he found the "Justine" DVD he wanted to watch. He has to hold the DVD case that he's watching otherwise meltdown city!! So he's holding the DVD case waiting for me to put it on, I say: Tobes I need the DVD out of the case. He opens the case takes it out and gives it to me.
Clever little lad!! I love love watching them grow and learn.

for my happy birthday i want...
My Micah is a particular little man. Having an older brother and sister in Zac (13yo) and Shani (10yo) his love of toys is a little different to other boys his age. Micah is turning 3 in just over a week. And he's been giving us a list of all the things he wants for his "happy birthday". Most of all he wants his own Green Lantern and Flash - that "stand up, just like this" and he stands with his feet together and his legs straight.
Hilarious. Zac has very sweetly bequeathed some of his superheroes to Micah, but Mikey gets frustrated if they don't stand up just right. I know it's part of his "first born" personality, but my goodness, it concerns me about what a particular child he might become. He certainly has to have his socks on just right, and his pants... "mummy, they're a bit weird, can you please fix it?" a refrain I hear quite often in any given week. we mostly go bare foot at the moment, takes away form the sock issue, and being summer he's in shorts during the day, and the long pants thing is more a night issue!
Sweet, sweet particular boy.
