Dane

I can't believe Dane will be 4 in a few short weeks. He has always been my little boy. However he is growing up. I think his has had a few growth spurts recently. He is very smart. He remembers his lesson from week to week in Primary. It really surprised his teachers when he told them the lesson had been on Daniel in the lion's den the week before. The best words I hear from Dane these days are, "I'm going to go poop in the toilet." That has been quite the road for this guy. Hip Hip Hurray I think we are through that one. In celebration of Dane turning 4 here a few pictures and funny stories below.

Funny Dane stories...
First one when we were doing the Navity for Christmas, Dane was a sheep with the other little boy cousins. That way they could wander around a bit and it wasn't too big a deal. Gabby had made little hats with fluffy ears and we were painting the noses black. However when we were getting dressed Dane wanted to be a black sheep. He insisted that he wear one black and one white scarf. I hope that doesn't have anything to do with the future.

Not the best pic, but you can see everyone from our little family. Oliver is Joseph and thrilled about it. Alex and Bry are shepards, Seth a wise guy as we called them. Dane a black sheep and Cecilia an angel. The other kids are cousins. We did the nativity on Christmas Eve at a nursing home. I hope it is a tradition we keep. I loved it.

Second funny story... I was laying by Dane one night to settle him down and cuddle a bit. Very gently Dane reached over and touched my face and said, "Tag. You're it." I had to laugh. I tagged him back, but it didn't count because I'd touched his sleeve. I had to really find him because he'd made a barrier with the blanket around himself. Needless to say I didn't do a very good job settling him down.
