Big Brother Daniel waiting for his baby sister!

Daniel is waiting for his baby sister to arrive so he can sing her songs like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". He is going to be the best big brother.

I cannot believe how big he looks in his school photo - almost 3 years old. Where does the time go?

Happy Birthday to Daddy and Daniels Moves to Preschool I

Daniel said, "Happy Birthday Daddy" this morning before we gave him his presents. Daniel gave him a singing Pac-Man card which was a riot. Daniel danced to the music from the card for 5 minutes.

Daddy got the Complete Set of Calvin and Hobbes which he has wanted forever b/c Daniel totally reminds us of Calvin. He also got a Buzz Light Year collectible (Daniel and Michael's favorite from our recent trip to Disney World). Of course there was a Ravens Shirt and Ravens Door Mat for Michael. And finally some hysterical and fun Daddy books.

Daniel is now officially in Preschool I - he moved up with all the older 3 year olds! We are so proud of him b/c he has started to use full sentences recently and is really growing up quick. But he will still always be Mommy's little boy!

Daniel had a great time at cousin Will (4) and Jason's (2) joint Birthday Party in PA at Tammy and Mike's place. He could not wait to get to the party and kept saying birthday party in the back seat which Michael and I heard as "porcupine" several times before we figured it out!!

Of course when we arrived after the drive, Daniel expected Birthday Cake right away - why else would you go to a birthday party. He was disappointed to find out that the cake does not come until the end of the party! Daniel had a great time playing with Will and Jason and all their friends. Mike made a sandbox for Will and Jason's birthdays which was a big hit with everyone. Daniel also discovered that balloons pop when they land in the grass.

The hippo cake and monkey/tiger/lion cupcakes made by Claudia were amazing and delicious. It was a great afternoon with our family.
