This is a just a view of the monitor, but you can hear Daniel singing Pop Goes the Weasel during his nap time. The words are:
All around the cobbler’s bench
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought twas all in fun
Pop goes the weasel
A penny for a spool of thread
A nickel for a needle
That’s the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel

These are camera pictures, so not great quality, but wanted to post these pictures of Daniel acting so grown up at lunch today.

Daniel is waiting for his lunch to arrive.

Daniel eating baked chicken off the bone with his fork like a big boy.

The humidity today has given Daniel some Shirley Temple ringlets.

Every day right after breakfast, Daniel starts asking what we can cook.  Today he has a little “coffee” before demonstrating his egg slicer skills.

Daniel was doing some fancy moves on a kitchen chair this morning.

Daniel is cutting up squash with a spoon and putting it in the crock pot.  Daniel loves to cook.  While he’s doing this he is singing Sing a Song.  The most understandable part is “make it simple last whole life long”.

Daniel has been a very good boy this year, so Santa brought Daniel a wonderful gift!  Here is Daniel discovering his kitchen.  I couldn’t get the camera out and turned on in time to capture Daniel running down the hall, but it was very cute.

Daniel and Poppy are looking out at the snow.

And since the buffet was so good yesterday, we went back again today.

Not knowing what the weather would bring on Christmas Day, we did some of our Christmas festivities on Christmas Eve.  Mimi and Poppy came over and Daniel opened presents.  He is ready to go!

Wow!  So many to choose from.

Enjoying a musical card from Mimi and Poppy.

Daniel loves all his new kitchen gadgets and condiments from Mimi and Poppy.

Pretty cute peering down into the giant Mr Potato Head.

Daniel sporting some cute Christmas Eve curls.

We had a good lunch at a buffet.  Daniel had some of his favorites: chicken, lima beans, green beans and peas.

This morning Daniel was playing with the Charlie Brown magnets from the refrigerator.
