Daniel's version of the "Bus Song"

One of Daniel's favorite songs that we have to sing all the time at naps and bedtime is the "Bus Song".  It's a very versital song and we've made up many verses to keep it fun and interesting.  The basic song goes:

The wheels on the bus go round and round.
Round and round,
Round and round,
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All through the town.

And then there are various verses such as:

The lights on the bus go blink, blink, blink
The engine on the bus goes brrrm, brrrm, brrrm
The people on the bus go up and down

And so on and so forth.

Well Daniel really loves to sing and so you will often hear him singing his favorite songs as he plays.  Today though he (I believe for the first time) made up his own verses to go along with the "Bus Song".  It's super cute though Daddy certainly made out better than Mommy!

I managed to convince him to do it on video so here you have it:

Easter Sunday!

We had a lovely Easter this year and it was so much fun with Daniel now that he is a little older and could understand and enjoy things more.  (See the next post for a little story on our attempt to explain the resurrection to Daniel!)

I was reminiscing this morning how two years ago Easter was the first Sunday that Josue and I made it back to church after Daniel was born (we left Daniel home with Grammie).  And then Daniel attended his first family gathering and met his Great Grandpa for the first time.  How quickly time has passed!

Anyways, we spent the afternoon enjoying family and delicious food!  And after Daniel napped we had a little egg hunt and gift for him...  Here are some pictures, enjoy!

Definitely the right way to start the morning!!! Pecan sticky buns :)

Grabbing a family picture before we totally forgot!  What a beautiful day we enjoyed today!

Daniel playing cars with the "big boys" after lunch!  They were so good with him!

Daniel and Daddy playing outside with the teather ball!  Daniel had so much fun with this!

Oh how I love that sweet, sweet face!

Thanks for taking the picture Micah!  Too bad Daniel wasn't ready :)  Daniel and I enjoyed some dessert outside on the lawn.

Daniel hunting for eggs!  He had so much fun!!

After finding each egg he had to stop, open it and eat whatever was in it (or put on the sticker as was the treat in some of the eggs).  So cute!

Finding another egg in the chives!

Trying to smile with Grammie for a pic, the sun was too bright!

Daddy helping Daniel find any Goldfish or Craisins that he missed and eat them :)

Daniel openning his gift from Mommy and Daddy, a bucket with some gardening tools so he can help Mommy in the garden this summer :)

Happy Easter everyone!  May you have had a blessed day and a wonderful time celebrating our risen Lord and the blessing of Life he has given you!

He is Risen Indeed!

It really is difficult to explain to a two year old how Jesus died and then rose from the dead.  Comparison sometimes works - in our attempt to get the point across to him we compared Jesus' death to him killing a bug the other day...  And then explained that while the buggie was still dead, Jesus isn't dead anymore.  I'm not quite sure how effective that was as death is so abstract at this young age.  However, when asked if Jesus was alive he did correctly answer "Yes!" and then proceeded to confirm, "Buggie still dead!"

LOL!  Love my boy and his simple understanding of things so much!
