Travel, Tech, Thoughts…

One evening I couldn’t think of anything else to do with Toren so I came up with the idea for an obstacle course since he loves to climb all over the place. It was a hit (for about 30 minutes).  Here’s Toren working his way through the obstacles:

Debi recently taught Toren how to do the hokey pokey:

As noted in a previous post, Toren has taken to diving on and off things.  In this clip he is diving on his head on our bed as he dives over my sleeping bag: This incident inspired Debi to say to me, “You know, we may want to consider having another just in case he…

Toren regularly imitates animals now.  The most common one is a dog, which involves him putting something in his mouth and crawling around.  In this one he found a bike rack in Plant Park (at my school) and pretended to be a monkey climbing it:

We picked up dinner and took it to the park at my school one evening for a change of pace.  Here’s a little clip of Toren and Debi running in the park toward the river:

Toren occasionally decides to roar.  The object at which he roars varies.  One day, during a walk down the street to our nearby Walgreens, he roared at every car that passed.  Just the other day he roared at one of the neighbor’s dogs (the small one, not the big one, of course).  In this video…

Here’s a short clip of Toren playing in one of the splash pools at Busch Gardens: We’ve made pretty good use of our season passes, visiting the park almost once a week.  Even so, we have yet to explore the whole park.  We did, however, find out that one of the log rides allows kids…

I have a new batch of short videos to post.  In this first one Toren is diving on his bed while he tries to say “To Infinity and Beyond” from Toy Story: Toren diving on and off things has become a regular activity here.
