Donovan Spring 2019

March

DZ and Serenity saw the Dino and wooly mammoth I made for the book fair and made a pterodactyl this morning from the cardboard scraps 🥰 Book Fair next week!!!! I can’t wait 😊

Baseball season is starting up again!  Nearly everyone came back to the team and several new boys from Donovan’s class wanted to join, including Kaden and Dhruv.  Coach Eric got a lot of compliments on his beginning of the year e-mail.  They are in machine pitch now which is a rough transition.  They had gotten used to hitting nearly every at bat, but now kids are getting struck out.  They are all working hard though!

Papa got some great baseball pictures! He comes to see DZ play every season!

Jaguars!

Donovan is spending lots of time with Daddy at Covenant lately.  He’s gone for several day long tournaments and plays as well as anyone!  He’s also doing something called a slow grow, which has something to do with Destiny (their current favorite game) but I don’t exactly understand it.  He is definitely a Wainright though.  He recently asked for a magnetic chess set and I thought Eric would burst from excitement.  He immediately went shopping on Amazon and had me order it the same day, which was pretty cute. 

Discovery lab with Daddy! He texted me that a kid was being mean to Maia, and Donovan used words to talk out the situation. By the time they left, that kid was their friend. He’s so good at mediating =)

I got some new Wings of Fire books at the book fair, and so of course once I read them I had to start over at the beginning of the series and read it again. However, this time something amazing happened. Serenity started reading them too! She loved it so much and enjoyed it so much she caught up to me and I had to check out a second copy from the library to keep going =) And then Donovan started reading them too! These are really big books for someone his age and he’s read the first four already! He loves them so much we’re having a Wings of Fire/Dragon/ Spyro theme for his birthday. Whee!

Also of note, he adores this onesie pajama he got from Carson. He’s a zebra!

Ziggy Zaggy, one of his most beloved stuffies.

Uno Flip is one of our current favorites! The dark side is really challenging, and the kids have outmaneuvered me several times by flipping the deck at key moments!

Pushing Maia on the tire swing. He’s such a great brother!

DZ starts great uggies =)
