  • small child + big umbrella = walking umbrella?

    Debi shot this clip of Toren walking underneath my umbrella at Busch Gardens one day:

  • Toren painting

    Toren loves doing artwork.  Here he is working on a masterpiece:

  • keep away from dad

    Toren has been weaned for a while now (not as long as you might think, but long enough for this to be funny).  So, when he reached for Debi’s breasts the other day, Debi told him, “No.”  She then asked, “What are you doing?” Toren’s response, “I don’t want Daddy to get them.”

  • Toren training

    Ever since Toren learned to curse (with two particular words – sh*t and d*mn), we’ve been trying to teach him that he probably shouldn’t say those words, at least not in public since some people will take offense.  It looks like the lessons are paying off.  The other day while she was driving, Toren piped…

  • how many more times will we hear this one

    Toren has tried this a few times now.  We’re getting ready to go somewhere and he doesn’t want to go.  To get out of going he’ll say, “I don’t want to go.  My sick.”

  • scattered thoughts

    Toren’s thoughts don’t always flow together perfectly.  We let him watch Fabulous Four one night and here’s what he said when it was over, “My like it.  Now my go to bed.  My sleep naked.”

  • love sucks

    Toren has already figured out how to use the word love to his advantage.  Debi had to leave one day and, of course, Toren didn’t want her to.  So he ran to her and said, “Mommy, don’t leave.  My love you.”

  • the odd things he picks up

    I asked Toren to do something one night but he was busy.  How did he respond?  He put up one finger and said, “One sec.”

  • beignets at Cafe Dumond

    Despite having been to New Orleans at least twice before, neither Debi or I had ever had a beignet.  So, we made a special trip to Cafe Dumond before driving back to Tampa to pick up some beignets.  Toren and Debi loved them: Me?  I thought they were okay, but a little too sugary for…

  • the Audobon Zoo

    We took Toren to the zoo while we were there.  It’s a nice zoo; very large.  But Toren didn’t seem extremely interested, though it could have been lack of sleep. He did get his picture taken with the Buddha: To entertain Toren on the ride up we put Star Wars – The Clone Wars on…
