Early Christmas

Merry Christmas to us! I have been dreading the flight alone with Donovan on Wednesday and told Brad we had to get a portable DVD player to help the child sit still. After failing to convince Scott to let us borrow theirs, he decided he had to get the best, of course. He got the one that has an ipod dock in it so it was a little more expensive than I was planning on, but he is the sugar daddy so I let him spend his hard earned money. We practiced watching it the other night and Donovan lasted with the headphones for about 10 minutes but wanted to keep watching the screen. Do you think they would mind if we didn't use headphones on the plane? Anyway, we have our leash and our DVD player, I think we are set :)

Lately, all Donovan wants to do is play our Rockband drums. He is pretty good. Look at that form (does that term work for drumming?). Last night, I was trying to do my hair before we went to the IWCC basketball game so I sent Donovan to his daddy after his bath and came in the living room to find this. Brad thought it was pretty hilarious...okay, so did I !This morning Donovan took off his PJ's, almost. He couldn't quite figure out how to get them off his feet so he walked around like this for about 20 minutes. I wanted to see if he would get them all the way off. Yes, his diaper is sagging.
For those of you who think we should be reproducing again, I won't name names, you will be disappointed to hear that we will not even be thinking about more children until we are in a more permanent position. We hadn't planned on our Iowa experience lasting this long and fear that it would last even longer if we got pregnant again before we get out of here. So I will continue to take my pills every night at the same time to prevent having children and I will still rejoice as TOM/Aunt Flo come to visit on schedule. I don't want to hear anymore on the subject. I am trying to have some willpower here and you guys are making it difficult.
