How many does it take before permanent damage is done?
On the 21st it was my turn to pick up Toren from daycare (we negotiate it every day; that day I volunteered). As I walked up to the door to his classroom, I looked through the glass window and saw Toren sitting on top of one of the toy shelves with another child in the…

totally inappropriate post
So, er, um… Occasionally, when I hug Debi, particularly when I hug her in front of Toren, I’ll grab her bum. Yep, that’s right. I do. I’m not embarrassed to admit it! And sometimes I’ll even give her bum a nice little love tap. Yep, you know you’re jealous! I gave Debi one of my…

Toren and the caterpillar
On a walk one day Toren spotted a caterpillar crawling across the sidewalk. We stopped to let Toren see it:

Toren and garlic salt
There is a reason Toren loves peas – garlic salt. There is a little bit of scientific evidence that kids like foods that their mothers ate while they were in the womb, and Debi ate a lot of garlic salt (she had weird cravings for it). So, I guess I shouldn’t be all that surprised…
