"DONE!" "BYE!" "DIE! DIE! DIE!"

When Daniel's cousin Fiona was a toddler, and she got frustrated at being left in her flying saucer activity station too long, she'd pipe up with what became one of her early signature phrases, "STUCK IN IT!" Eventually, this was shortened to just, "STUUUUUUUCK!"

Daniel's version of "stuck" is: "DONE! DONE!" Often, this is augmented with a waving hand and "BYE!"

He's cracking it out all the time now. He's good for about 4-5 minutes at any given place (restaurants, the pool, music class) before the "BYE! BYE!" comes out.

Other new Daniel words: "Air-pane" (for airplane), "eye" (for ice), and the absolutely obnoxious mantra-ad-infinitum, "DIE! DIE" (which stands for, "Daddy, I'd like to go outside, please."). His grandparents report he has also, quite clearly, told them, "thank you." :D
