Donovan's awesomeness and other things

Donovan really likes to play the Wii, so I have tried to keep our play time to a minimum. I have only been letting the boys play once or twice a week because Donovan is a little young to be playing video games. His favorite is when we play boxing or Rock Band. This particular day was boxing. He was so funny I had to get it on video. A song plays after you win and Donovan knows it pretty well! The first video is a little long, but Brad's comments make it worth a watch. The second video is Donovan's awesome dancing. Listen carefully, he has rythm.



On Wednesday, Donovan and I made some banana bread. I left it out to let it cool and noticed Donovan walking to and from the kitchen quite a bit, so I went to investigate and this is what I found. I know I should have gotten after him, but it made me laugh too hard! I am a horrible mom that way, I laugh when I should stop him.
If you didn't already guess, he didn't eat dinner that night.
"nana bed"

We went to a Reiver Volleyball game that same night when Bradley got home from work. Donovan was watching the "piyate" the whole time and kept pointing to him telling us what he was. He got out of his seat and wanted to go see him, so Brad took him up to meet him and he freaked out! I guess he didn't think the Reiver would be as big as he was. After that he kept his eye out for him so he wouldn't get too close. I'll admit that it was nice that he wanted his mommy. Everytime the Reiver got close he would cling to me and bury his face in my chest. I guess we should wait a while to go to Disneyland again, when he was 6 months old he loved all the mascots! I think we are slowly passing the fearless stage.
He did enjoy the volleyball though! He was their most adorable fan.

Brad has 2 more away games this weekend. He will be in Kansas and Oklahoma. They leave tomorrow morning around 8 and won't get back until late Sunday night. We sure do miss him when he's gone, but I try to make it fun for Donovan so we can both get through it without getting bored or annoyed with each other! I am really excited for all the home games next weekend. Even though it gets annoying chasing Donovan around, it's nice to get out and support the team...and be around other adults.

I like how Donovan puts the bread back after he takes a bite. And the jumping kills me every time I see it. I told Nate that Brad is finally a pro at boxing, and he said, "Yeah, well he's not a double pro." We both agree that Donovan has better form than Brad when it comes to the Wii Boxing. Colin liked the last video best—he clapped along with the fans.

When I read you only let the boys play video games a couple times a week, I thought you meant Donovan and Mason. Silly me...
I can't believe how fast he's growing now.
