Debi took Toren to Busch Gardens in November while I was away at a conference and he sat on Santa’s lap.  At that time, he told Santa he wanted two things for Christmas: a bug catcher net and a robot.  So, planning ahead, I bought him a bug catching net and Debi bought him Iron…

I’ve filmed Toren climbing the nets a bunch of times at Busch Gardens.  But this time I convinced him to climb to the top of the nets:

Toren called for us one day because he said he was stuck in his toybox. He wasn’t; he just thought he was being funny, until he realized he might be breaking his toys:

Toren learned a bunch of Christmas songs at his daycare this year for a performance (that he, unfortunately, missed).  Even so, he’s been breaking out in song every so often.  He hasn’t let us record him singing, but Debi caught the audio one night in the car:

We stopped by my office one weekend for lunch before going to a show.  Toren found a bouncy ball and began throwing it around and then diving after it.  It was kind of funny to watch:

My new favorite line from a movie is from the The Avengers.  There is a scene during the final battle when Loki yells at The Hulk, telling The Hulk that he is beneath him because Loki is a god.  The Hulk then grabs Loki by the leg and smashes him repeatedly into the floor like…

TECO, our local electric company, put some money into a nice Manatee Viewing Center by one of their power plants and it is free to visit.  I took Toren down for a visit in November.  Here he is walking along a boardwalk: And here are some of the thousands of crabs that come out during…

Debi took Toren to a fair at the hospital where his daycare is one Saturday.  They had free face painting, so Toren got his face painted as a tiger.  Later that evening we went to McDonald’s for ice cream and he made some of his “funny faces” for the camera:

I’ve been a bit busy lately.  Our home was burgled in early December.  Taking care of everything we’ve needed to do since then has been overwhelming. The thieves mostly took electronics, but also my bike.  And, in the process, they smashed the gingerbread house Toren and Debi had just made.  I decided to film Toren’s…

Toren wanted to make a baby this morning.  Debi was thinking they’d make one using various craft items.  But Toren knew better.  He walked into our room, opened the drawer in our nightstand, pulled out a condom, and said, “You use one of these.” Not quite, but he’s on the right track.
