Daniel celebrated a birthday last week with Chinese food, cheesecake, and a new motorized scooter.
I’ll tell you a little bit about Daniel, age 14. He joins clubs and auditions for things. He’s a pianist in the jazz band, a member of the Senate, and this last month dabbled in debate.
This week he is in a roadshow where he wears a shark costume and plays the scary theme from Jaws on his cello.
He plays The Entertainer all of the time and his favorite dynamic is fortissimo.
He earned 10 merit badges this summer.
He has a good friend in Texas with whom he still Skypes almost daily after many years of separation.
He loves engineering and computers. He mows our lawn. We depend on his rope skills, strength, and ingenuity on family trips and projects.
He has a growing circle of spiritual, outgoing, and interesting friends.
He was so happy last night to see the new episodes of Studio C. He is also a big fan of The Piano Guys.
I look forward to the things that Daniel will do this next year. He’s definitely worth watching. My health problems during my pregnancy with Daniel meant that he went through a rough time along with me. I knew that we should name him Daniel because he miraculously came through the lion’s den before he was born and I knew he was a great spirit before I even met him.
