The Thornton triplets are in town (more on that later), contributing to my failure to timely express my appreciation to Toby for being such a wondeful father. He is truly an amazing dad, and out-parents me in so many ways, including:
Patience - Toby has the patience of a saint. When Annie is putting on a major show of toddlerhood, Toby remains cool as a cucumber. Not sleeping? Toby sings as long as it takes. The harshest thing he's said to her? "Oh, Annie..."
Playfulness - Toby romps and plays chase and builds towers. He also builds toys, and will read the same book 50 times over.
Positivity - I actually knew about this one before Annie was born, unlike the other two. Right now, Toby's preternatural positivity helps me more than Annie, but I hope she grows up to be just like him.
