Keepin’ On

Several things worth noting!

I bit my lip. Hard. So hard, actually, that they had to call Mommy into daycare. To be more precise, I kinda bit through my lip. It’s much better now, but it really hurt at the time.

Mommy and Daddy seem shocked by how quickly I’m learning new words. It’s really easy now! All I do is listen to what people say and figure out what they’re talking about. Then I can use those words whenever I need to. My new favorite words are pizza, play ground, videos, and pumpkin.

Other than that, things have been pretty standard. You know me… causing trouble, making messes, poking eyes, being cute… That’s just how I roll.

Weekend of Awesome

It really was.  Grandpa picked me up Friday morning and took me to Hendersonville.  We had a lot of fun.  I had Wendy’s for lunch, and since it was Grandpa, I actually ate some of my chicken nuggets.  I also got to have some Fries and a bit of Frosty, and we got to visit Grandmama at her work and see all the office ladies.

Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Todd and Aunt Sarah all came for the weekend, too.  Taking the rare opportunity to please such a large audience, I performed my famous sumersaults and pot-lid percussion routines.  I have also deduced that sticking fingers in one’s ears is a form of praise much like applause.  I mean, why else would they do it every time I brought those lids close?

Can anyone else hear that ringing?

And I got to go on a boat!  Daddy, Grandpa, and I hit the lake for some water fun.  I was a little nervous at first, but I was very brave and had a LOT of fun.  My favorite parts were the bumps… if they stopped, I’d just hop in Daddy’s lap until I was tired.  And there were ducks!  And BABY boats!!  Ok, so I think I heard Daddy call the baby boat a “Jetski”, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a baby boat.

 

Spirit Week

We’ve got Spirit
Yes we do!
We’ve got Spirit
So I’m blue!

Ok, so it needs a little work.

It was Spirit Week at the daycare.  Here’s what we had planned:

Monday – Pajama day
Tuesday – Crazy Hair
Wednesday – Wacky Tacky Clothes
Thursday – Favorite Color (our class was Blue)
Friday – TTU Pride

So on Monday, I wore regular pajamas.  The real excitement started Tuesday.  Daddy took me to Walmart, and we got some blue hair gel.

It.  Was.  Awesome.

I got to wear it Tuesday and Thursday, since one day was for hair and the other was for the color blue.  The first day, my hair was still a little too long, so it didn’t spike very well.  Still, it was cool:

 

Mommy and Daddy learned their lesson, though, and shortened it up for Thursday.

I think this hair says “That’s right punk.  Walk away.  Cuz I’m crazy and you know I’ll mess you up.”

And what of Wacky Tacky Day?  Well, let’s just say that we will never speak of it again.  I was so Wacky and Tacky, that no pictures will ever be released.  Just leave it alone, people.  We do not speak of such things.

And Friday?  Well, I wasn’t at daycare Friday.  Grandpa picked me up and we got an early start on our “Weekend of Awesome”.  But that, dear readers, is another post.

Happy Birthday to Me!

That’s right… I’m now the Big Two.  I don’t know why people keep calling it the “Terrible Twos”.  I’m having a great time.  Mommy and Daddy are finally learning to understand Danglish (Daniel English… I figure people would get confused if I shorten it Danish).  I mean seriously… I understand that they’re getting old, but is it really so hard to understand that Neos means Sandals, Beeboo means Paper, and Kahkoo means motorcycle, bicycle, circle, ring, finger, and sock?

I had a really fun party, too.  Lots of friends and family!  And I got some great presents… everything from some cool new books to a big car and motorcycle toy that are big enough to ride on.  Mr. Jim even got me some safety gear!  Plus he got me a blank license plate.  He said we can write “Daniel” on it if it’s going on the car, but if we decide to put it on the bike, we have to write “Snake”.  I, of course, prefer snake.  Unfortunately, having no riding gloves, I’m forced to wear Daddy’s motorcycle gloves.

The whole party was fun, though.  We hung out, played in the house a bit, and finally moved outside where I could enjoy my new riding toys.  I wonder what I’ll get next year?!  I think I heard Daddy mention a dirt bike and Mommy mention a giant inflatable bubble.

Back By Popular Demand

Alright, Alright… I know I’ve been gone for a while.  It’s not my fault, though!  Mommy has been teaching and Daddy has been taking classes.  I can’t exactly blog at daycare.

 But things have been pretty good… I’m gonna try to catch you up on the important happenings of the last few weeks.  And in case there was any concern… I’m still cute.
