Tobin eats....almost anything. And if he doesn't like something he says: 'don't like it'. He can put away 12 dumplings in one sitting. (they are small). He loves strawberries and green smoothies! He does not like sandwiches. He has licked the peanut butter and jelly off, I think he just doesn't like bread that much. He definitely prefers rice.
Tobin says....a lot. He narrates his life in short words and sentences. His vocab in both languages is pretty good. And since it is baby sounding, it is quite cute. He was showing us ants (we have a lot), and saying "right dere right dere!" He now can say Sophia's name very well (hers being the hardest), and can understand and communicate almost anything. He is at a very cute talking stage. The cutest is when he has to say: 'I sorry Sophia' or 'I sorry mama'. I just caught him sitting on top of the Homeschool table, I said: 'Tobin Elias!' and he said unprompted: 'I sorry' and flashed his grin....
Tobin plays....with shoes, with balls, with his baabaa, with his sisters. He loves any kind of ball, but with his big hands he can bounce the basketball pretty well, and says: 'bounce bounce'. He loves to be outside and get dirty, play in the sand, or drive a little car. He will put on anyone's shoes, and since most of them are girl shoes, this also is quite funny. He loves his sisters and they love him, but they can fight over a toy any day...he can still scream a good scream. He knows how to annoy them as well. When they are watching a video he will climb up on the couch and start kissing them...on the lips....in their face....because he knows they are trying to watch something. He also loves to dance around and has quite a strut with the swing of his arms.
Tobin gets in trouble....daily. We are daily training this two-year-old. The other day he locked himself in the bathroom on accident. We didn't have a key. I tried to talk him through unlocking it (LOL), until David just went and got a screw driver. A few months ago it was socks in the toilet. And these days he loves to sneak toothpaste, or open up my night cream containers on my night stand.
Tobin LOVES...his baa baa and baths (and sucking his thumb).
Tobin dislikes....balloons, they scare him for some reason.
Tobin sleeps....a good nap in the afternoon, 2-3 hours, and still remains an early riser, waking around 6:30 a.m.. We tell him it is not time to get up (David is better at this than I am), and he usually goes back to sleep until after 7. So at night he goes down around 7:30 and sleeps a good 11 hours.
Tobin looks....like his daddy. This is what everyone says. He does look like David, but he does not look like David did when David was little. We were not sure if he was going to have the hard-to-tan skin like mine (but does tan eventually), or porcelin white, or the golden tan like David's. Now we know, since being at the beach, that he tans easily, not sure if it is real olive (like my dad, bro and sis, or golden olive like David's), but it does get tan, not red.
This boy is the charmer in our home. He has such a fun personality already, we consistently laugh at his antics and drama. We are so thankful to God for Tobin Elias, God is indeed good!
