  • Toren counting

    We play the “dark game” (that’s Toren’s name for it; it’s basically hide and seek with flashlights) regularly.  We make Toren count while one of us hides.  He used to have to count to 10, now we’re up to 20.  Here he is counting to 10 in the dark (not great video, but the audio…

  • dessert at TGI Friday

    Debi and Toren got a decadent dessert at TGI Friday on our way back from New Orleans.  Toren was in heave – cookies and ice cream!?!

  • cool whip lover

    Surprise, surprise – Toren loves cool whip! What kid doesn’t?

  • Is it dishonest to answer when you don’t understand the question?

    We went out to Taco Bell yesterday evening (Saturday).  It’s Toren’s favorite restaurant; he always gets a bean burrito and loves it.  While we were eating, a middle-aged man sat down at a table not far from us with a soft drink.  He looked at Toren and tried to engage him from afar by smiling…

  • Easter

    So, I’m obviously a bit behind posting videos and photos.  It’s been a busy couple of months.  Anyway, this was the first year that we tried a candy hunt for Toren for Easter.  Since Debi and I both grew up with siblings, there was always a sense of urgency when it came time to hunt…
