Word play

It seems that Daniel has decided that some words are hilarious. Some of his current giggle-inducing favourites are: snirt (dirty snow for those of you unfamiliar with the term), banana, blah, yes! & gooey.

I tried to capture his out of control giggling over having a gooey sandwich, but I am not sure why the focus goes in and out. Enjoy the laughter anyway!

Clowning around

Me: "What are you doing, Daniel?"
D: "Dressing up like a clown."

And he said it as if it was totally obvious, like, really Mom, how can you ask such a ridiculous question. I am really not sure where this came from. I can't think of any books or shows we've seen that have had clowns in them. It's not that I am against clowns, just can't figure out how Daniel knows about them and what they look like. A mystery.

Daniel is getting to be such a big boy, it's hard to believe that he isn't even 2 1/2 yet! Despite the emotional roller coaster that is being 2, he is usually a lot of fun to have around. Everyday brings more words, stories and games. He is really into cars and trucks right now. He has given all his various toy vehicles names (some related to the movie Cars, others are less specific like "Daddy Dump Truck" for his biggest truck) and likes to make them "talk" to each other as well as the rest of us. He insists on lining them all up for listening to any truck related stories, especially "Little Blue Truck" which is his very favourite story to act out right now.
