Before Debi took Toren to daycare one recent morning I picked him up to give him a hug and kiss.  I then asked him, “Toren, who loves you?” Toren said, “Mommy.” I said, “And who else?” Toren replied, “Granmary.” Glad he knew his grandmother loves him, I prompted him one more time to see if…

At Toren’s daycare they have a costume parade.  All of the kids put on their Halloween costumes and do a parade through the hospital where the nurses line up and give them candy.  Rosemary and I went to watch the parade and help walk Toren through.  Here are some pics from the parade: Just so…

Who is the world’s cutest jedi?  Toren is: This was just before we went trick-or-treating. This was really Toren’s first year trick-or-treating and he was pretty hesitant to start.  But once we did a trial run at our own house (where Rosemary answered and gave him candy), he caught on. We were the first ones…

If Toren’s career aspirations in other areas fall through, I think he has a future as a topless drummer:

Toren has started gymnastics classes (video coming soon).  But he’s been doing somersaults for months.  Here’s a clip of him doing a somersault onto his blocks:

This is another after daycare adventure at the hospital.  Toren’s daycare had a trike-a-thon in which the kids rode their trikes around a loop.  Parents could donate money based on how many loops the kids made.  That meant Toren got to take his trike to daycare.  I picked him up that evening and he wanted…

Toren’s cousins (and aunt and uncle) sent him a really cute toy.  It’s a cloth pouch with a see-through plastic window filled with beads and little objects.  It’s a cute little toy for playing “I spy…”  Toren had different designs one day.  Rather than fight through the beads that made it hard to find what…

Toren has recently started saying the word monster and will occasionally act like a monster.  In this clip he’s pretending to be a monster while wearing some of Debi’s sandals:

We’ve been playing a lot of hide and seek lately.  For a while Toren was getting the idea as he would hide really well and not say anything, but lately he’s been talking while hiding, making it easy for Debi to find him (I help him hide).  Anyway, he tried to hide on his own…

Curse you, Burger King, for sending us coupons! We’re big fans of coupons and Discover cashback gift cards.  We rarely go out to eat except with a coupon (either a Groupon or other coupon) or with a gift card we got through Discover, so we aren’t really paying for the food.  We went to Burger…
