Tonight, Toby wanted to go out "in the backyard" to play. I told him no, because it was dark outside. A few minutes later, Ilene and I wanted to go to a movie to celebrate, and we were going to leave Tobs with grandma.
Toby told me: "no, can't go. it's dark outside!"
he repeated it over and over, insistently, and on the verge of tears. he really didn't want us to go.
it breaks my heart that I disappoint him so much!
