Tobin has always been a very happy and sweet boy. Yes, I think "sweet" is a great description of the kid.
Classic Tobin story: Last week there was a GIANT wolf spider on our ceiling. The spider was at the very pinnacle of a vaulted ceiling-- over ten feet high. So, I could not get him down myself. I decided to just wait for Lance to get home and take care of it (classic Kira). The kids looked nervous so I explained that wolf spiders are nice and actually eat other kinds of spiders-- so there was nothing to be afraid of.
As I was helping Zoie with homework, I heard a steady stream of dialogue from the toy room-- where Tobin was playing alone. After a few minutes, I checked in on him and witnessed him sitting at his little play table and filling the spider in on the details of his day. He figured that if the spider was nice then they should be friends. When Zoie said- "I hate spiders!" Tobin got defensive and said- "Zoie, he can hear you!"
Naturally, I neglected to mention just what became of Tobin's "new friend" once Lance got home.

Such a sweet story! I'm guessing that's the same spider I saw at your house. Terrifying!
Tobin IS a sweetheart. He will melt many little hearts someday; if not already.
