Daniel is 6!

Daniel turned six in December. He got a fish tank set-up and six fish for his birthday! He picked out four neon tetras and two yellow guppies. after about a week one of the guppies died and then a few days later one of the tetras died too. He would not let us flush the fish so I put them in a plastic bag inside a jar in the fridge. The other day I found them. It was disgusting. They have been disposed of!Today, Daniel finally lost his very first baby tooth! It had been barely hanging on in his mouth for days and while he was wrestling with his brothers on the couch this morning, it fell out!
Daniel is a wild and crazy child! He doesn't do anything small!!! He's loud and big and I love him!

Daniel Paints

Today daniel painted with brushes and fingers. It was fun. He laughed and really liked making the paint really wet by dipping into the paint then the water before brushing it on the paper.

Shhhhhh! He Doesn't Like a Lot of Noise!

Nearly 5

One Year and Ten Months Old

He's SO Smart!

One Year and Nine Months Old

Daniel had major oral surgery! (actual date: 10/4/08) He had 11 teeth worked on all on the same day. The dentist took him to a surgery center and had him put to sleep. He performed about an hour and a half of surgery and Dan had about 50 minutes of wake-up in recovery. He had 11 teeth worked on and the front two DID NOT need root canals as we had been told! His mouth was a little sore and his hands and arms looked like pin cushions – they had trouble getting an IV in…But surgery went very well. Daniel's recovery was amazing. He was groggy and sore for a few hours, but by evening he was running around the back yard! He had a few days of soft foods and was sensitive for a few more days when brushing his teeth, but after four days he was completely back to his usual self. The dentist (I would refer anyone to him - he's wonderful), Dr. Crenshaw of Pediatric Dentistry of Prospect, was truly a blessing to us. If you want to know more, just ask - I will be happy to share our story!
