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…

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…
