Donovan in March

Snow cat!

Today Donovan pointed out that he is just like a shark, he has teeth.

 

3/25

He said" Lets say a funny story.  Once there was a monkey and he was scared!  He was scared from the dinosaur.  And he said help, help, ayudenme!"

Then I said the Dino was scared of the monkey.  Then they laughed and made friends.

Another time he told stories with magformers, using them to illustrate his story. He said "The monster trapped him!  He trapped George.  The dinosaur chomped the monster and saved George."

 

It's hard to believe we were still getting snow in March!  A lovely snow dinosaur was Donovan's request =)

He sticks his hand down the neck of his shirt a lot these days =)

Playing computer with Daddy

His first experience with regular glue =)  He sorted colored squares and glued them down.   He liked this so much we did it several more times that week

Potty Training week!  He has done SO well.  Day five and not a single accident, including poop!  Day four just had one accident, and it was probably because he swallowed half the pool.  The first day we went through six pairs of underwear.  I forgot how often kids have to go when they are first learning to use the potty.  Setting the timer on the stove for 20 minute intervals made for a long couple of days.  But by the third day he just had two accidents.  He still went through four pairs of underwear though, because he just loves his new underwear =)  And when  he changed into his superman pair that required an entire outfit change so his shirt could match his underwear.  So cute =)  He also wore his underwear on his head the first day several times.  He's also discovered that potty training is a great way to prolong bedtime.  Yesterday he came down three times in an hour so he could use the potty.  I think he was holding some back on purpose, my little evil genius.  Tonight I thought everyone was in bed, since Eric had gone to sleep upstairs when the kids went to bed, so I took a bath.  Well, he climbed out of bed over Eric, went to the potty, and then located me downstairs.  He came in holding his pull-up, pajamas, and the tub of cookies, ready for his reward =)

Donovan is such great company when it comes to yard work =)  He'll sit and dig in the dirt the whole time I'm working =)  He likes to help with digging and he sorted out lots of rocks with me.  He's the digging boy!

"I've big important things to do!"  He quotes from one of our favorite books.

Digger boy!
