Category: Toren

Probably like most parents, we struggle to find food that Toren will eat.  He does like veggies, but not all the time.  He loves sweets, but we refuse to give him those (most of the time).  In this first video we were having pancakes with strawberries and whip cream.  He doesn’t like strawberries, but will…

One of my former students invited us to her daughter’s first birthday party, which happened to coincide with Easter.  Debi was headed into finals week, so Toren and I went.  It was a great party with a bouncy castle and lots of treats and fun activities, including an Easter Egg Hunt.  Since Toren was too…

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…

I’ve heard that some kids do this, but I didn’t think it would be my kid: Ick!

Usually when I go around the passenger side of my car to get Toren out of his car seat, I’ll point at him through the window and he’ll point back.  Then, when I open the door, I’ll say, “Is there a cute little boy in here?”  Typically Toren will then respond by waving at me…

I was picking up some diapers at Babies R Us one day when Toren insisted on getting out of the cart.  Since I often let him run around stores these days for a little bit (usually once I’m done shopping), I let him.  He immediately proceeded to climb on the racks where the diapers were…

Who needs a little girl when you have a Toren?  He stole Debi’s make up one morning, and by the time I was able to get it back, this is what I found:  

Toren loves to play like he’s dead.  On occasion that includes falling:

I have no idea what possessed him this night, but for some reason Toren went on a rampage.  He was picking up all of his toys and dumping them over, including his dumptruck with blocks.  It was like a 23-month-old Godzilla: And when I finally started filming, he tackled me (the end of the video).
