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

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.”

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…
