Distinguished Gentleman

So we had some fun today and took Toby over for a neighborhood Pre-Easter Egg Hunt. While it was overcast and cold enough that we could see our breath, we figured a little practice couldn't hurt before the "big game" tomorrow (of course, he had to get dressed up just in case the ladies were there). We started strong, Toby was enjoying himself and starting mugging for the camera.

So, off we went. However, as we went, Toby was less and less excited about doing anything. When the time came to set the kids "free", what we discovered is that Toby's "game face" attitude was mostly composed of him hiding behind one of us while watching 40+ kids run, grab, push, and cry their way across the lawn.

So what we really ended up with looked a lot more like this -- I can't really blame him, those older kids have been practicing their game-faces for several years at least. This was his first try.









In the end we finally resorted to bribery....which was basically holding out a chocolate egg and hoping he would un-stick his frozen feet to come get it. It worked like a charm. All in all it was a good morning. We got back to the house and Toby finished up his morning with a 3hr nap.
