Happy birthday smiley boy

Julie (little Cotton Rabbits)

Today is Toby's 11th birthday.

He's now ten years older and a lot bigger than he was in this clip but the same Baby Einstein video he was watching then is still one of his favourites to this day.

Though he's now almost as tall as me, he remains so much a little boy in a big boy's body but I love him just as he is.

  8. That made me cry! I am so soppy. Must not now watch my own videos as I will be useless for the rest of the day. Happy birthday!

  15. Happy birthday young man – look at those gorgeous chubby cheeks. Eleven is a grand age to be and ‘yep’ my son who is twelve over took me in the height department around the same age. Mums make a great leaning post!

  34. Happy birthday, Mama – it’s such a mystery and adventure, that day – when out pops a spirit from God, a person in his own right, encased in a body that’s always going to be a surprise. We never know where the adventure will lead us, but it will always be a lesson in love. A very long lesson in love. You, I think, were chosen especially for this one, and for Amy – your strengths and your gifts tuned for these little packages of person. He must be very proud of you, the one who sends.

  49. What an adorable little boy – simply beautiful. Such a lovely clip to share with us Julie, and a treasured memory for you to keep. My little boy is one of Sunday, and I have to admit when he laughs just like Toby, it makes my heart melt. I treasure these memories also and will endeavour to capture some of the moments we are sharing with him now, on video, so like you, we can watch them in years to come and enjoy them even more.
    Big birthday hugs to the lovely Toby!

  64. Happy Birthday Toby,
    There is nothing like a smiling/laughing child.x
    p.s.I love October not just because I was born in Oct……………But it’s the colors, smell of late Autumn and softer sunlight that makes it so special. For the eye is a very warm month.
