Why play I-spy when you can just cut open the package and get the contents?
Toren’s cousins (and aunt and uncle) sent him a really cute toy. It’s a cloth pouch with a see-through plastic window filled with beads and little objects. It’s a cute little toy for playing “I spy…” Toren had different designs one day. Rather than fight through the beads that made it hard to find what…

Toren the monster
Toren has recently started saying the word monster and will occasionally act like a monster. In this clip he’s pretending to be a monster while wearing some of Debi’s sandals:

still working on dimensions and size
We’ve been playing a lot of hide and seek lately. For a while Toren was getting the idea as he would hide really well and not say anything, but lately he’s been talking while hiding, making it easy for Debi to find him (I help him hide). Anyway, he tried to hide on his own…

another healthy dinner
Curse you, Burger King, for sending us coupons! We’re big fans of coupons and Discover cashback gift cards. We rarely go out to eat except with a coupon (either a Groupon or other coupon) or with a gift card we got through Discover, so we aren’t really paying for the food. We went to Burger…

Mr. Drama
I was putting on shoes while sitting on my bed one afternoon while Toren watched. On my night stand were my soccer cleats. Toren asked if I wanted to wear my cleats instead of my other shoes. When I told him that I only wore my cleats to play soccer, he said he wanted cleats.…

poopy in the tub?
Just after the previous video I posted I shot this one of Toren saying “poopy”. He wasn’t poopy, but it shows his language development. On that front, I’ve been working with him on words, since learning words is about all that can be expected of him at this point. I choose nouns from a couple…

LinuxMint or Ubuntu: Automount Server Share
(Updated to reflect changes in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS – 5/15/2012) While I’m still not 100% sure how I got my file server to share all the files across the network (whatever I did, it worked; when the server dies, I’ll figure it out and post it here). Regardless, I recently reformatted my desktop and had…

LinuxMint: Keyboard Shortcuts to Move Windows Between Monitors
If you don’t have multiple monitors hooked up to your desktop computer, you’re really missing out. Having dual monitors is a delight when it comes to being able to see more than one window and work even faster. And to make the experience even more enjoyable, Ubuntu variants of Linux, including LinuxMint, my new Linux…

floaties in the tub
Toren wanted his floatie in the tub one night, so I helped him put it on. The result is kind of humorous:

Toren’s new trike
Craigslist is awesome! I found this trike with a push bar on Craigslist for $15.00. It’s used and a bit beat up, but it works fine. We had it for all of a week before Toren figured out how to pedal. It’s probably not that unusual for a kid his age, but a lot of…
