A bit of an early birthday present from Daddy.
Toby is very proud of his new bike.

Cool style
Toby is very particular about what he wears these days. Every morning he carefully picks his own outfit out, being very particular with every single thing, even fussing over which underpants and socks he'll wear with which shirt etc.
And the shoes! We have many arguments about shoes. I'm not sure why he will insist on wearing his red suede shoes on a rainy day. Or why he just has to wear his deck shoes when we are running really late and I absolutely cannot find them anywhere.
He refers to all of this as his cool style.
Mummy, I need to wear cool style today. I just have too. I need to wear my red boots!
And he loves nothing more than to pose for photos in his cool style
The upside to this is that he is now dressing all by himself. He doesn't even want help.
A few weeks ago, I thought this moment would never come.

Last Weekend...
...Toby nearly exploded with excitement.
You probably remember, I think I've mentioned before how obsessed Toby is with Star Wars and superheroes.
It was national bookshop day, and the big bookshop in the city was holding all sorts of events through out the day for children. Craft activities, treasure hunts, light saber displays, and loads of superheroes and star wars characters browsing the shelves inside the shop.
When he first spotted the Storm Trooper, he was a little scared, but holding Daddy's hand he bravely approached him, and once he started talking to him, we could barely get him to stop.
Are you a good egg or a bad egg? Do you know Darth Vader? Do you know Darth Maul? Can you take your helmet off? Can I hold your gun?
Batman was similarly bombarded with questions.
Do you know the Joker? Do you know The Riddler? Do you know the Penguin?
We ended up in the bookshop for most of the day. He held a light saber, and was given tips and advice from some Jedi Knights. He talked to Batman, Spiderman, Captain America, a Storm Trooper, Luke Skywalker, and Captain Jack Sparrow. Took part in the treasure hunt and won a prize.
He has barely stopped talking about it since, and it's the chosen subject for his show and tell at kinder tomorrow.
