JUST TO SPITE DAD

When Tobin was born, he was my dark baby. Dark skinned, dark hair. I was thrilled to see that swirly tuft of brown hair as I held him those first couple days in the Hospital.

But as everyone knows, shades of skin color can change, as can hair. Tobin's skin lightened up significantly, though his tan is about as dark as it can get. (especially since he never wears a shirt) And his hair? Well it lightened up a bit. Then a bit more. Then he decided to spend every waking moment in the sun, and now he's as bleach blonde as he could possibly get.

His hair is still a swirly tuft, and it fits him. He's a wild one. I do have to admit, the white blonde hair looks good on him. But he kept those brown eyes that I'm claiming came from me. So I've still got that one going for me.
