  • Target for toddlers

    I mentioned a few posts ago that I let Toren run around in stores a bit. He’ll sit in the cart for a while, but he eventually gets antsy and wants to explore.  Since I’m right behind him the whole time, I don’t really worry about him running around and he likes it.  We stopped…

  • sticks and graham crackers

    Even with a handful of graham crackers, Toren can’t get enough sticks:

  • window watching

    After the possums showed up in our yard, Toren wanted to get up in our kitchen window and look for the possums every day for about a week.  Here he is knocking on the glass trying to see if they’ll come back:
