Here are a couple of additional clips Toren hiding in a nightstand and running in Debi’s shoes:

You have to love Craigslist!  We found a higher quality trampoline – though in disrepair – on Craigslist for $200.  I talked the owner down to $150.  It normally sells for $750.  Then, since I had to take it down (with my neighbor’s help), she gave it to us for $100.  Our total cost will…

On the rare occasion that I buy artichokes, we now have a ritual for eating them.  We lay out blankets in front of the TV, lay out the artichokes and various bowls, and have a little artichoke eating festival while we watch a video.  In the clip below we were watching Star Trek (the original…

This was a relatively short-lived interest.  It lasted about a week is all.  Here are two more clips of Toren playing in Debi’s shoes:

I thought Toren might like to watch a soccer game.  I took him to a game one night at UT.  He watched the game for maybe 30 seconds, then he wanted to run around.  The college students found him entertaining:

The following clips are from before Halloween.  Debi took Toren shopping one day and he found a light saber in the store.  He wasn’t about to leave the store without it, so Debi bought it for him.  It later became part of his costume.  Here are two clips of Toren with his new light saber.…

Toren started gymnastics a few months back.  At this point it’s mostly just climbing on things and running around, but he likes it.  Here are a couple of clips of Toren in the gym jumping on the tramp and then lifting himself up on the rings:

In the last post I mentioned that we were getting ready to go to Busch Gardens to celebrate the birthday of one of Toren’s friends, Serena.  The following are some of the videos I shot that day.  Serena’s about 8 months older than Toren, but they get along well and like being with each other.…

Toren has obviously wanted his way for a while, but he hasn’t been able to express that with words until recently.  In this clip we were getting ready to go to Busch Gardens to celebrate the birthday of one of Toren’s friends, Serena (you’ll see her in upcoming videos).  I’m not sure if Toren understands…
