toby of the day, 9.16.07


age at which stealing is wrong: maybe 12? At least according to the young girl who told us it was ok for her to steal things because she’s just a kid.

mid-morning naptime: 10:17am

activities/milestones: today we watched part of the great banana chase where adults dressed as bananas chased children around the track. Actually, they mostly acted as sweepers, keeping the rolly-polly stragglers company and urging them to finish the race. We were mildly frightened of the prospect of someday having to interact with some of the parents, including the father yelling “bring it!” to his 8 year old son and the parents who insisted on running with their children rather than just cheering them from the sidelines. Fortunately, toby can’t even walk yet, so we have a little time. Also today, toby watched as his dad performed the death-defying feat of hanging a poster over the stairs. Fortunately, not kneecaps were broken in the process and we now have a cool satellite photo of San Francisco to look at.

this event reminded me of edward's unique sprinting style. pointer and middle fingers out, as if he was playing hyper olympics.
