This was per his request. He&#8217;s taking notes! He&#8217;s written &#8220;virus&#8221;, &#8220;rna&#8221; and &#8220;dna&#8221; and drew pictures of a cell and a virus. Then he called his Pa and went through the whole life cycle of a virus. Molecule was &#8220;monocle&#8221;. There was a monocle shaped like a crayon and a monocle shaped like scissors. &#8220;D-A-N&#8221; is DNA and &#8220;A-N&#8221; was RNA.<\/p>\n<p>February 6 &#8211; Daniel told me about a time Poppy was cutting something in the kitchen and cut himself. I said that Poppy&#8217;s skin probably wasn&#8217;t as tough as mine. &#8220;When Poppy is a little older he will probably be like you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>February 7 &#8211; Daniel recorded five sound files for Mammy, burned them on an audio CD, put it in a case and envelope, weighed it to determine postage, put on return label (his own, btw) and postage. The only parts of this process I assisted in were writing the address (his handwriting isn&#8217;t quite up to postal standards) and looking up the postage needed once he told me how many ounces it weighed.<\/p>\n<p>February 7 &#8211; I was singing My Darling Clementine and Daniel asks, &#8220;Is God going to find her?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>February 8 &#8211; Waiting in comfort for eye appointment<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thetucker.com\/daniel\/files\/130208.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thetucker.com\/daniel\/files\/130208.jpg\" alt=\"130208\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1280\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.thetucker.com\/daniel\/files\/130208.jpg 600w, http:\/\/blogs.thetucker.com\/daniel\/files\/130208-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>February 8 &#8211; Music and open floor<\/p>\n<p>yt:-3pk8kJj9So<\/p>\n<p>February 9 &#8211; What would I do without this clever boy.
