  • Toren sleeping

    Toren is such a constant blur of motion these days we rarely get to see him sleeping.  He fell asleep in our bed one night and looked so cute I had to film him:

  • gymnastics

    Toren started gymnastics a few months back.  At this point it’s mostly just climbing on things and running around, but he likes it.  Here are a couple of clips of Toren in the gym jumping on the tramp and then lifting himself up on the rings:

  • Serena’s birthday at Busch Gardens

    In the last post I mentioned that we were getting ready to go to Busch Gardens to celebrate the birthday of one of Toren’s friends, Serena.  The following are some of the videos I shot that day.  Serena’s about 8 months older than Toren, but they get along well and like being with each other.…

  • One of Toren’s more cogent arguments

    Toren has obviously wanted his way for a while, but he hasn’t been able to express that with words until recently.  In this clip we were getting ready to go to Busch Gardens to celebrate the birthday of one of Toren’s friends, Serena (you’ll see her in upcoming videos).  I’m not sure if Toren understands…

  • teaching Toren important words

  • How to feel like your child cares

    It’s nice to feel wanted. Toren manages that in this video:

  • Toren’s favorite hiding place

    Toren has recently learned how to play hide-and-seek…  Well, kind of.  He gets that you’re supposed to hide, but he also really wants to be found. So, he’ll hide, then start calling out for whoever is looking for him.  One of his favorite hiding places is in our nightstands, which are just the right size…

  • Watch out, dogs!

    I walked with Toren one recent night while he rode his new tricycle.  His recent passion for his light saber meant that the light saber had to come along.  As we walked down the street, we heard some neighbor dogs barking.  As we got closer we saw them.  They were in the backyard of the…
