Ryan, Debi, and Toren Cragun's Blog

During the outing to Busch Gardens mentioned earlier with some friends, I snapped this photo of Toren in front of the lion pen:

Busch Gardens also has some bronze lions kids can sit on, which Toren and Serena did:

I took Toren to a play area in a local mall one day.  Some older kids were running around like maniacs, knocking over all the little kids.  Toren, seeing the chaos, chose to just sit on this stork and watch:

Later, Toren found a small game attached to one of the walls.  Just as he found it, a little girl ran up and pushed him out of the way.  We left at that point.

It was not the best playground experience we’ve ever had.

Alas, this isn’t from just recently.  It’s from September.  It’s a picture of a cute boy with his cute mom swimming in a friend’s pool:

Toren does like pancakes.  But he is quite particular about them.  Every pancake has to have its own bowl.  That means that when he is really hungry, his table looks like this:

I've got pancakes, yes I do.

He didn’t eat all of the pancakes.  But he did take a bite out of all of them… :|

Yes, Toren likes pasta for dinner a lot.  But while we had these cheese puffs, they were an attractive alternative for him, much to our dismay:

cheese puffs, it's what's for dinner

I eventually started letting him have them for dinner just so we could get rid of them.
