Daniel

I realize that I have neglected to update on Daniel since his birthday and I didn't even use a recent picture for that. I feel like a terrible mom. So here is the update
*He is talking more then ever and uses complete sentences
*Still loves to dance to any music with a good beat (he'll let you know if he doesn't like the song)
*Can count on his own up to 14 sometimes 15
*Knows D is for Daniel and Daddy and recognizes the letter D when mixed with other letters
*Can recite a few nursery rhymes from memory (Baa Baa Black sheep, Twinkle Twinkle little star and Hey Diddle Diddle).
*Sings I am a Child of God with us every night and sometimes the first two verses of Wheels on the bus.
*Got a basketball hoop for his Birthday and LOVES shooting any and every ball in the house
*Also loves to color and put his puzzles together.
*Shares most of the time
*Puts his jacket in his room after he takes it off without being asked.
*Almost can put his own shirt on the, arm holes are tricky
*Can go #2 on the potty but we are still working on #1 (I'm not really serious enough to take the diaper off and put him on underpants just yet)
*Rolls his eyes at you
*Loves to ask questions like whats that
*Calls me mama
*Loves Animals real and plastic especially a Llama named Dali
*Says his own prayers
*Gives the best kisses and hugs
*Is in love with his Twin cousins, especially Benji
*Is an expert mess maker
*Favorite movies are Winnie the Pooh, The last Unicorn, Toy Story 2 and The Fox and the Hound
*Playing Memory
*Went to his very first Birthday party and LOVED it!

Story #1The other day he said " Mama will you put my shoes on please? Sure Daniel where are you going? To work. Your going to work? Yep will you put my shoes on please? Daniel what are you going to do at work? Umm Play football and basketball with daddy(David has a football and basketball under his desk at work)." After we put his shoes on he said " Will you open the door for me please Mama, I'm going to work. Daniel how are you going to get there daddies work is far away and he has to drive his car. I dunno will you open the door please mama?" I finally was able to get his mind off going to work I think we played memory.
Story #2 Daniel was in the front room and found a coupon on the couch, very seriously he turned to me and said "what the heck is this?" I died laughing
Story#3 The next morning David was getting ready and Daniel loves to get ready with him. David dripped some water on Daniels head and this is what I heard from the bathroom "OH...My....Gosh! Mommy daddy just dripped water all over my head!" again I about died laughing.
He has such a personality and is growing up so fast!

Wow. He is a smart little boy. And my question is...who does he share with right now?
Two year olds are a lot of fun and are learning so quickly. They say funny things and keep us on our toes.

I babysit my friends son every other morning. So he's learning to share with him. Hopefully he gets a little better before the baby comes.

I miss him! I miss having him at my house, eating lunch with us. He is such a cute little guy!
His comments crack me up because I can totally picture him saying those things.
Give him a love for me!
