Basketball and the Baby

People. Notice the glee! The rapture! The love!

This boy L-O-V-E-S basketball!

A few weekends ago we took Master T and his dolly, Maggie, (he felt like he needed the company) to a UO Women's Basketball game! OH MY!! Toby was ALL about it. He actually watched the game or danced with the pep band and cheerleaders all the way up until the last two minutes of the game. And, by that time, we knew we were losing by 10 points, so we weren't too upset with running after a little boy in the bleachers.

Last week the boy got to go to his second bball game this year and had such a great time. He didn't have time for Mum, Mama or even his buddy Jonah. When the players stopped for a time-out, he desperately signed and said, "MORE BASKETBALL!!"


Here Toby is watching the first part of the game with Maggie, and signing "More".


What might he love more? We're not sure, but a couple weeks ago we went to the coast and T watched part of his first movie. There are reasons that Ice Age is rated PG, so he didn't watch much. But, do you remember in the beginning that cute little squirrel trying to save his acorn? Toby LOVES that little guy too. He went from crying to laughing to gleeful screaming to crying again more times than we can count. He went to bed that night signing and saying, "Baby!?!?!" over and over. The next morning he woke up saying "Baby!?!?!". OH MY! Such empathy. He was so worried about the baby getting back to his family.
