Tag: Toren

We’re learning that lots of kids Toren’s age and even older don’t like movies that are even a little scary or violent.  Toren, on the other hand, loves them.  The more violent the better!?!  (Should we be worried?)  He has a shirt and pajamas that we got from someone else that have Spiderman on them.…

Now that we have a trampoline, Toren has really taken to jumping.  He has even figured out how to jump and land on his bottom.  However, he doesn’t just do it on the trampoline.  Here he is jumping on our couch and landing on his bum:

Toren and I often race – whether it’s on foot or him on his bike and me on foot (to catch him, of course).  Whenever he is ahead of me he’ll say, “My winning!” (i.e., “I’m winning.”  He hasn’t worked out the difference between “me” and “I” yet.).  Here he is “winning” on his bike:

Our neighbor bought Toren a really cool toy set that included a truck, a motorcycle, and a four-wheeler.  Toren really wanted to ride the four-wheeler, even though it is just a toy.  So he improvised:

We’re not sure how this started, but we typically ask Toren what he did at daycare every day when we pick him up and he always responds the same way: by listing the names of some of the kids in his class: Mona (Ramona), Sammy, and Bobby.  We finally caught on video here:

We asked Toren to wash his hands after he was done eating one night.  He had a cup of water in front of him, so he improvised:

We had a good time asking Toren questions one night over dinner.  Here are his answers:

Toren’s a little young for some of the activity options at Busch Gardens, but that hasn’t stopped him.  In these clips he’s climbing on ropes and trying to get from one level to another.  It took him about 30 minutes to figure it out that day, but he eventually did and now he can do it…

Toren has a funny way of saying Granmary, which is what Debi’s Mom, Rosemary, prefers to be called by her grandkids.  He adds a cute “ny-ny-ny” at the end.  It’s pretty adorable and he did it all by himself:
