With a backpack, to boot.

Big stuff, just like his big brother and sister. For some reason, putting a backpack on kids makes them look older to me. Maybe it’s because of what a backpack signifies, and the milestones that usually come with it. The symbolic gesture of picking up and carrying a load on those small, fragile backs.

Whatever it is, this little weeble wobble, with his empty Thomas the Train backpack confusing his sense of balance, all of the sudden really looks like a toddler to me.
