First Bicycle

He loves his bike. He ask to ride it when he wakes up. He remembers my promise for him to ride it after he takes his nap or finishes his meal. He waves goodnight to it when it's being stored in the garage. He asked us to whisper whenever we are are near where his bike is 'sleeping'. He loves his bike.

It's understandable really...it's his first mode of transportation and with it comes a certain level of Independence that means the world to a 2YO. As parents to our baby, the reward of seeing him enjoying it so much and being good at it as well, is astoundingly heart-tugging and simply priceless.

Of Lately

Tobey is seen here spotting some shades and daddy's watch (the line on his chin is not a gotti, just a stain from breakfast :P)

Eating his pasta (reluctantly and just because daddy is insisting)

Eating his dessert all by himself (willingly)

Thinking hard during some card matching exercise

Hanging out with his mates (he's actually busy picking up stones to be thrown into the mini fountain)
