We have no idea where Daniel got this idea from, but it is hilarious.

Daniel got an Easter basket from the Easter Bunny that looks like Elmo.  It was filled with lots of little plastic eggs.  Daniel has been playing with these eggs all day.

Mimi and Poppy came over and brought Daniel some Easter presents.  The first video is long but has some cute moments in it.

Yesterday Papa took Daniel to a playground at a school near us.

Daniel went to the zoo today with Mama, Mimi and Poppy.  It was a real treat to have his Mimi and Poppy at the zoo.

Mimi and Mama went through the members line with Mama’s pass.  It took Poppy a little longer to get through the other line with Daniel (who is free under 2) so Mimi got this shot of them.

Daniel never would take off his hoodie even though it got pretty warm while we were there.

While looking at the chickens he says “seeds” and “water”.

Daniel didn’t take a long afternoon nap, and it was really warm, so Mama put him in his first romper of the year and we headed to the zoo for a while.  Daniel was tired as you can see on the way there.

This trip Daniel really paid attention to the animals.  Here he is pointing to some big macaw birds (“caw caw”).

Daniel loves this playground behind our library.  He calls it “slides”.

He loves to run around and around the ramps.

He’s throwing little mulch crumbs down the slide.  He has taken this slide a few times by himself, but usually wants his Mama to go with him.

Behind the playground is a field with a stream with a small waterfall.  Daniel loves to explore the field and play with sticks and point out flowers.

Mama, Poppy and Daniel went to Mammy’s house to a lunch for Pappy’s birthday.  Aunt Elizabeth prepared a lot of wonderful food.  Daniel was particularly fond of the lima beans.

Daniel had a box of raisins for dessert.

Mammy gave Daniel a couple of buttercups which Daniel was so proud of.

Here is our nearly two years old Daniel in his new crab outfit.

Daniel was really wanting to go outside today  (“sides”) but couldn’t because of the rain, so he had to settle on doing some marker art.  He had a really good time doing it, but would frequently want me to wipe marker off his hands and the table.

This morning Daniel got all dressed up to go on the deck to feed (“seeds”) the birds (“caw caw”).  He put on his stocking cap, a pair of my socks, six bracelets and a necklace on his wrist.  When we went out he also took his mini basketball.  Here he is eating banana slices for breakfast.
