My Dani

Dani's personality is outsized only by her adorable grin.  She is gutsy, fearless, happy and confident.  She can be sweet and she can be sassy.  She knows exactly what she wants.  Yesterday, she refused to wear her cute pink sun hat but demanded to wear Jack's baseball cap---backwards only.  She's quick to anger but also quick to joy.  She will most certainly be the kid who gives me the gray hair but I also know that the qualities she has that will sometimes drive me crazy as she grows up are the same qualities I am so happy that she has.  She's determined, strong willed, stubborn, and fiercely independent.  She's perfect.

Jeopardy and stuff

We always watch Jeopardy together as a nightly ritual right before the kids go to bed and Paul and I yell out answers when we know them. For the first time today (05/13), Jack joined in. He waited until the question was finished, then went up to the TV and yelled out the first things that came to mind, "Fire Truck!" "Cranberries!" "Ice Cream!!" "Mommy!"

Today (5/14) we gave Jack a gummy cherry as a treat. He shoved the whole thing into his mouth and then started running.


Me: Jack, it's not a good idea to run with candy in your mouth.

Jack: Do you think I can walk with it??
