We celebrated Daniel's birthday Conference weekend at the beginning of the month. Dustin had taken work off Saturday so he could go to the Priesthood session. It was his only free day until Thanksgiving. Daniel was so excited knowing it was his special day. He kept saying he wanted a Transformer cake and was super- surprised when he got a Scooby Doo cake instead. He is really into Scooby Doo lately so he was more than thrilled. He got a wonderful Dinosaur game and Batman backpack from Grandma and Grandpa. Noah has enjoyed the game more than Daniel, but it won't take Daniel long to get into it. Daniel has taken his backpack with him to bed and everwhere he goes. It is now Black Bear's new home! Noah got him a tiny baby white tiger figurine that Daniel loves. We got him another Transformer and a Spider Man scooter. He parks his scooter in the scooter garage at night= his closet. He had a great birthday.
The folowing week I took Daniel to get ice cream, just the 2 of us. We have started back with an incentive chart and he did really good last week. He earned that ice cream and had so much fun with just me. He is working on earning more stickers for another ice cream date. The stickers seem to help as he is now able to tell me what he did wrong. I can actually talk to my son and he understands me now. We have hard days, but they are definitely getting less frequent.
Daniel seems to have grown up so much in the last 2 weeks. It surely is amazing what a special day/birthday can do for a child's maturity!
