  • I’m not Toren’s favorite dad

    On the way home from daycare today, I was asking Toren questions.  He then volunteered that he liked one of the other kids’ fathers better than he likes me.  When I asked him why, he said, “Because he’s stronger than you are.”  Of course I had to pursue that, so I asked him, “How do…

  • payback

    Remember that video of me scaring Toren?  The one that now has over 8 million views on youtube? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLla0Q3egIc Yeah, well, Toren finally got me back:

  • Toren on the nets at Busch Gardens

    There’s something about my little boy climbing on these nets that makes me want to film him: Maybe it’s just that he looks so small compared to the nets, but he’s so much bigger than he used to be.

  • still working on throwing

    Since Toren is too young to feed the kangaroos, the zoo gives him free fish food to throw to the koi and ducks in a nearby pond.  Here he is doing his best to throw it to the ducks and fish: He won’t be headed to the major leagues any time soon…

  • jumping skills

    Toren has jumping skills: We’re still working on the nunchuk skills!

  • Toren’s on email…

    Okay, Toren isn’t really able to send email yet (though we still have his email account we set up when he was born).  But he also has no conception of writing a letter.  He thinks any time you write something down that could be construed as words, it’s actually an email.  So, here he is…

    I took Toren out to the beach one Sunday morning to watch a kite flying event.  The kites weren’t all that interested, so we went for a bike ride then went and played on the beach for a couple hours.  Here he is raking the sand in preparation for our massive sand castle construction project:

  • Toren at gymnastics

    According to Debi, Toren regularly does backflips off this bar and lands on his feet: He didn’t pull off landing on his feet when I saw filmed him.  And the second time he tried, he did slip off and actually bit his lip just a little.  He was fine, but a little injured.

  • Toren pushing people around

    It’s been a busy month, but I finally found a few minutes to upload videos. Here’s one of Toren pushing his stuffed monkey on the swing at our local park: He has recently gotten into stuffed animals, at the same time that he is talking more about his imaginary friend monster.  It must be a…

  • Toren likes all kinds of animals

    (Debi wrote this one) When I got home from my recent 5 day trip, Toren had changed. In my absence he had gotten back to liking some stuffed animals (which he used to like a long time ago and then stopped paying attention to).  For example, when I went to get in the backseat of…
