I'm Kris. Tumblr is where I stick random thoughts/pictures about my family, my life, and other stuff I like. If it's nerdy, I probably like it. I'm pretty ordinary, but even ordinary people have a story to tell.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
People of Tumblr, I just have to say: I have never felt more validated as a parent than I do right now. Thanks for reblogging/liking Toby’s “princess” pictures!
He’s a hard child to raise (he has severe ADHD and is autistic) but he is tons of fun. Disneyland was a great adventure for all of us. My husband and I were nervous that Toby would freak out with all the stuff going on, but he handled it like a champ and loved it. It’s been a month since we were there and he talks about meeting Snow White and dancing with Cinderella ALL THE TIME. He also got to meet Prince Naveen and Princess Tiana in passing (they saw him dressed up in his Peter Pan costume and waved frantically at him but he was oblivious.) I am dying to take Toby to Disney World now!
Anyway, thanks guys.
Also, this is by far my favorite picture of all of them :-)

My son, Toby (age 5), flirting shamelessly with the princesses at Disneyland. He dressed up as “Prince Toby” and as Peter Pan and adored meeting the princesses (Snow White and Sleeping Beauty are his very favorite Disney characters.)

This was my face when I learned about the casting of Four. Theo James? Really? He’s so freaking old! He’s older than ME and I’m 26 so come ON. Also I always pictured Tobias with deep blue eyes. Not brown.
Sigh. Drew Roy will always be Four in my heart. Thus ends my fandom whining.
This is my amazing 4 year old, Toby, reciting “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Toby has heard this poem all of THREE TIMES and he memorized it. He has the most incredible, terrifying memory I have ever heard of. He’s on the autism spectrum, so every day is a challenge, but then he busts out something like this and it’s all I can do not to bawl my face off at how crazyawesome he is.
Can he be Four?
I took my son Tobias to meet Veronica Roth at the Salt Lake City Library last night. It was pretty awesome. She’s even more beautiful in person, and it was really neat to meet her. I can’t wait till my Tobias is old enough to read Divergent - I had her sign my copies to him :-)
When this kid grows up, he’s going to have one hell of a literary role model.
Well, actually, two role models. Tobias from Divergent and Tobias from Animorphs. Booyah.
(See, I’m old (25) and I can still get my fandom on!) (Don’t worry I’m not going to spam the Divergent tag with my kid any more. For a while.)
Hey. Hey guys. This is my kid. His name is Tobias and… he’s Four.
Heh. Heh heh.
