Ryan, Debi, and Toren Cragun's Blog

I had Toren sitting next to me one day while I was working. It started out softly, but eventually turned into this:

When Toren is out, he’s out:

Debi wasn’t a huge fan of this game/experiment, but I thought it was intriguing:

(Note: No Torens were harmed in the making of this film!)

Debi and I have never been the type to shy away from the label “geek.”  We are geeks and we wear that label with pride: we like our science and we like our science fiction.  But leave it to Debi to out-geek most other geeks by comparing her son to a Talosian:

Toren, looking rather Talosian-like

a Talosian, from Star Trek (Original Series, of course)

(You, too, can claim “hard-core geek status” if you new what a Talosian was without following the link to Wikipedia.)

Toren was laying on the couch next to his grandmother and was starting to wake up. Debi was sitting on the loveseat where she usually sits to feed him. I was standing over Toren waiting for him to wake up all the way so I could take him over to Debi to eat. Debi, short on sleep, proceeded to say, “Toren, if you want to eat, come walk over here…”

That’s all she got out before I busted out laughing.

She meant to say, “Toren, if you want to eat, you can’t just walk on over here, you’re going to have to convince one of them to bring you over.” It didn’t quite come out that way.

Darn Toren – 4 weeks and he can’t walk himself over to the boob!
