Toren has recently started saying something that is both profound and funny.  When we’ll ask him where something is, like his shoes or a missing puzzle piece, his response is always, “It’s somewhere.”  He’s right, of course, but not helpful at all.

Toren and Debi were laying on the couch together one evening when I overheard the following conversation: Toren, reaching his hand toward Debi: “Mom, take this off.” Debi: “Take what off?” Toren, wiggling his fingers: “My boogers.” Toren had, in fact, picked his nose and was asking Debi to get the boogers off his fingers.

Toren’s pretty athletic, probably more so than either of us.  I’m not claiming he’s destined to be a professional athlete, but some of what he does is impressive.  Here he is hitting a baseball – well, sometimes hitting a baseball:

We bought floaties for Toren a while ago, but he has only recently started using them.  And now that he understand what that do, he’s content to hang out in the pool by himself.  Here he is at our pool in San Destin swimming the length of the pool:

Nah!  I have fingers! Some clips of Toren eating rice at PF Changs in San Destin on our New Orleans trip:
