Robby is the middle child in our family and the only boy... he has an older sister and a younger sister. He is always a good sport about it and in his younger years had plenty of practice in patience as Madi would play dress up with him.
Robby rarely sits still or quiet ... even if we are just driving in the car you will eventually hear "blow up" or gun noises coming from the back seat. I am never quite sure what we are blowing up but it is hilarious to watch in the rear view mirror. "Boys will be boys!" Other random noises that are a constant in our house are whistling and a strange "woooo" noise that you just have to hear to appreciate.
Robby is a great big brother (most of the time)... he is always trying to help Elli or share something with her to make her happy and even though she is not always nice back he keeps trying ... what a trooper!
Robby is not always the tough guy he tries to portray... his bedroom is in the basement along with Madison's but Robby hates to be down there by himself. He can stall with the best of them when asked to go down and get pj's on or brush teeth until he is sure that Madi will be down there also. You've gotta love a tough guy with a tender heart!
At our recent parent/teacher conference with Robby's teacher she informed us that his math level is that of a 2nd grader at the end of the 2nd grade year. She wants him to start going into the 2nd grade class during their math time ... we'll see what happens.(if curious this math gene definately did not come from his father) Now the catch -- his teacher told us that kids that are ahead in certain academic areas usually end up being bored as they get older and tend to get into trouble. ( So the question is - do I take this converstaion as a compliment that Robby is doing well in Math or as a bit of a warning that I should be scared for him in the future?) Whatever happens it is fun to watch him count everything and he especially loves telling time and figuring out how many more minutes until something.
Robby is an awesome little boy and we love having him as part of our family ... We love you Robby!
So now you know a little about Robby. We tag Isaac, Kaitlyn and Shelby.

Oh, I heard Robby was a fellow math nerd. I used to love math. USED TO is the key. That's awesome that he is that smart with numbers though. It's always nice to have one subject that comes easy. We can't all enjoy reading the encyclopedia (JAMES!)
