Peee

Daniel: I'm gonna write dad.
(Daniel very carefully makes scribbles on the paper)
Melanie: Good job. How do you spell dad?
Daniel: P. E. E. E.

Knockers

While in Yellowstone, one night after a full day of sight seeing.

Daniel: I need knockers.
Melanie: What honey?
Daniel: I need knockers.
Melanie and Jason: What is that Daniel?
Daniel: I need knockers mom!
Melanie (To Jason): What is he talking about?
Daniel: Aunt Tiffys knockers!
Melanie: Oh! You need Aunt Tiffys binoculars!
Daniel: YEAH!!

These shoes are so cool

Today I bought Daniel some lightening McQueen shoes that light up. He of course threw a massive fit in the store about trying them on and then ran away from me causing me to have a heart attack. We even left and I asked my sister to buy them so I could take my crazy children (both screaming) home. Later he was going outside and we put them on. Daniel looked down at the shoes and said "mom these shoes are so cool, they light up and have cars on them. They are awesome!" Who would have thought?

Goodnight

Daniel was going to bed last night and quietly was saying goodnight to everyone. "Goodnight grandma, goodnight Britty, goodnight mom, goodnight Alvin." Alvin is the dog who apparently needed goodnight wishes as well.

Dirt and Shoes

We were eating breakfast at Grandma's house. Daniel and the rest of us were eating yummy pancakes while Alice was licking this orange ball that I gave to her. After awhile of watching her lick this ball with great enthusiasm I decided to wash it claiming that it "probably tastes really yummy like dirt and shoes." A few minutes later Daniel turned to Grandma and said "Grandma these pancakes are so good. They taste like dirt and shoes." Needless to say we all had a good laugh.

Thank You

Melanie: Daniel you do not hit daddy! What do you need to say to daddy?
Daniel (with enthusiasm): Thank you dad!

Staying Alive

Daniel loves watching shrek. Since he watches it mostly in the car he watches the entire movie, credits and all. At the end of Shrek 1 there is "karaoke" as they call it where they sing like four lines of famous songs. Yesterday Daniel was getting his diaper changed and started singing:

"dance to the music....dance to the music..." and he actually got the tune right.

I was slightly surprised thinking, this song is definitely not on any ipod that I know of. Then he sang:

"stayin' alive, stayin' alive, oh oh oh oh...."

Jason figured it out after he sang one more song that I don't remember that he was singing the condensed version of the songs at the end of Shrek 1. Super funny.
