Who is the world’s cutest jedi?  Toren is: This was just before we went trick-or-treating. This was really Toren’s first year trick-or-treating and he was pretty hesitant to start.  But once we did a trial run at our own house (where Rosemary answered and gave him candy), he caught on. We were the first ones…

If Toren’s career aspirations in other areas fall through, I think he has a future as a topless drummer:

Toren has started gymnastics classes (video coming soon).  But he’s been doing somersaults for months.  Here’s a clip of him doing a somersault onto his blocks:

This is another after daycare adventure at the hospital.  Toren’s daycare had a trike-a-thon in which the kids rode their trikes around a loop.  Parents could donate money based on how many loops the kids made.  That meant Toren got to take his trike to daycare.  I picked him up that evening and he wanted…

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 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:

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…

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…

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.…

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…
