Yes, Danny decided that for my birthday he wanted to make a worm cake. He first thot about it when I asked what he wanted to give his friend Zara for her one year old birthday. “A worm cake with real worms coming out of it.” We opted for something else for Zara so when it came to my birthday the worm idea came up again. So we broke down & made a worm cake, he compromised with gummy worms and it was infested!
Danny has really taken off swimming, just in the last week. Tom’s been teaching him how to jump in and hold his breath. He’s even swimming under the water a bit. It’s sure been a blessing to have a pool this hot hot summer.
Carly got her first 2 teeth last week. She did amazingly well, just a whole lot of drool. She’s 9 & 1/2 months, Danny didn’t get his first tooth till 10 & 1/2 months. In other firsts last week Danny got his first bee sting while swimming in the pool, poor lil guy.
Some of Danny’s current favorities are:
Movie: Spirit (every weekend he asks, “Can we watch Spirit the horse?”)
Book: It’s a toss up between Richard Scarry’s ABCs and “I don’t want to take a bath” from the Little Tiger Series but he loves books and so has a new favorite every few days
Bible Hero: David & Goliath (yes, both of them - one had a sling and killed lions and bears and the other carried a giant sword)
Icecream flavor: Coconut (it took him a while to decide while in the icecream store faced with so many options but once he did he’s wanted the same thing every time since)
Activities: Swimming, jumping on the trampoline, catching rolly-pollys and ladybugs, playing soccer and baseball, playing trains with Daddy, and eating gummy bear multivitamins
Motto: I do it myself
We went to the Wild Animal Park yesterday. Some of Danny’s friends came along too. During the summer the zoo & wild animal park are open late and have evening shows. We got to see the a bit of the African Acrobats and Cheeta show and enjoyed a dinner picnic.
