Toren vs. Woolley
Another of Toren’s stuffed animals, Woolley (also named after the person who gave it to him), is a favorite wrestling partner: Toren is particularly fond of sucking on Woolley:

Hallelujah!!
Toren slept from 9:00 pm until 5:30 am last night. Marvelous! Stupendous! Amazing! There is a bit more to the story – last Thursday he woke up several times, starting at 4:00 am. I was up from 4:00 am on. After that incident, I decided (Debi agreed, but I kind of insisted) that it was…

my dad is mean
Yep, I’m pinching my son’s chunky belly: We’ve had quite a discussion about how chunky he is. I think I’m beginning to lean toward him actually not being that chunky as, when you pinch his belly, it is pretty clear that there isn’t much fat there. Apparently he literally has a big stomach and intestines,…

Toren and Carol
It’s time for some more stuffed animal photos. Toren received a very cute stuffed bear we named “Carol” (see, I may not like it when Toren looks too feminine, but I’m cool with him having a female stuffed bear). Here he’s hanging with Carol: I love Toren in this next one. It’s like he thinks…

do me a favor and maybe make money in the process
To my Tampa readers (or anyone not in Tampa who knows someone other than us in Tampa): I’m beginning a research project that includes surveying two samples of Hillsborough County residents. We’re using two surveying methodologies, one of which is an online survey. But unlike many online surveys, we are taking a different approach: We…

read this, please!
An article on health care that everyone should read – Sick and Wrong. FYI, I’m no longer for health care reform. If it isn’t a single-payer system, it won’t do any of us any good. I figure I should come out on this now, so there’s evidence. When I tell people I was adamantly opposed…

putting Toren to work
It is true that I asked Debi how old Toren has to be before I can have him mow the lawn (we’re still negotiating that one). I don’t mind mowing it, but it sure would be nice to have someone else mow it for free! Of course, Debi will tell you I plan on making…

Toren at happy hour
Some of the faculty at my University get together for happy hour at Bella’s in South Tampa on Friday’s at 4. Debi and I were out running a few errands on Friday and decided to stop by briefly with Toren. One of my colleagues (props to Steve) snapped a couple of photos with his iPhone:…

Toren as Torena
I’m a sociologist. I’m all into trying to raise my boy in a non-stereotypical fashion. I won’t be pushing sports or cars on him. To that end, I insisted that we buy Toren gender neutral onesies. Light green works great. Even light browns are fine for both girls and boys. But, um, yellow… Well, you…
