Mom, I'll just answer these emails for you

Toren + the designers at work = total chaos and lots of sweets that his mama doesn't approve of

Hey kid. This brushing your teeth thing. It's happening.

Spider hunt. Snail hunt. Both successful.

I came home tonight to Toren running at me carrying these flowers with bunny ears on and no pants, screaming, 'I bought these for you!' In this picture he's yelling at Anton that the vase is too big. Then he tried to have a sword fight with the flowers. Too much excitement for a Monday.

Ok come on guys, it's bedtime.

Eating weird seaweed out of a weird pouch from a weird store with a weird Dad.

Getting ready for a puppet show. Look at those long locks!

Aircraft carrier tour with Dad. Toren thought all of the pilot mannequins were his Mom and yelled 'Mama!' at them. Super bizarre.

If you run into this guy today, he will probably tell you that you have something in your eye. And then he will want to investigate. You should let him. This morning he found a tomato in Anton's eye. Good thing we caught that before the situation got serious.

He painted a picture called 'Ben'. As the paint started to pile up, I kept asking if he was done and wanted a new page. He adamantly told me 'NO.' Then his art technique took a new turn and he started ripping a hole in the paper and painting through it. He still said to me, 'I'm not done.' It got very interesting. This was serious, emotional art.

He loves jelly. He says, 'Can I have one?' I usually tell him yes. He asks, 'A big one.' I say yes. He asks once again, 'Yes?' I say yes. Then he shoves his fingers in the jelly. I wouldn't eat the jelly at our house if I was you.

He sleeps like this every night and most weekend naps. He's my teddy bear. It's adorable, but we can't do this forever. I know.

Being an elephant. Compliments of Dad. These two are hilarious together!

Eating yogurt. Dad is in charge.

Early morning egg hunt. He ignored the plastic eggs completely and only went for the hard boiled ones.
