Still not much going on

Donovan and I had a busy day the other day. We went to the park, Wendy's, and then flew kites before we ran around outside at our place.

He loves the park, he told me this as we were driving there. He kept saying, "I love parks" and "I so excited". You'd think we never go to the park! We usually go to the one down the street, but we decided to go to the one down by the Pedestrian Bridge because it's a little more fun. He was in heaven.
He loved the "telephone". He would say, "talk, mommy?" so I would run to the other one so he could talk to me.
He has to hang on everything. He is such a little monkey.


He even took his Mater and McQueen out to bury them in the rocks and try to find them. This lasted a good 10 minutes.

He's such a good little kite flier. Anyway, that's about it. It's been pretty windy, but we've tried to play outside and run around despite it. It makes for good kite flying weather!

A few recent Donovan quirks:
-He always ends up in just underwear by the end of the day. He won't wear pajamas anymore! I swear he's in his underwear every time Lenna drops Addi off in the morning.
-He always says, "member mommy?" When he thinks I told him we were going to do something, or when he thinks I've forgotten a promise. His favorite, "go park, 'member mommy?"
-He is getting better with Addi, he actually wants to play and share his toys with her when she comes over. It makes me less nervous about him having siblings some day.
-One of his new favorite phrases "I do it myself". He is getting so independent. He has to open his own car door and gets mad when I lift him into his seat. It makes for a longer trip, but he insists!
-He LOVES The Princess and The Frog. He watched it in the Hiatt's van on the way home from Missouri and has been talking about it ever since. Any frog he see is a "pincess fwog".
-He takes a nap every 3 days or so, but when I tell him it's time he says, "I not tired, I happy". I guess I usually tell him he needs a nap when he's being grumpy.
-He tries to hop on one foot whenever I hold his hand.
-He still can't sit through an entire movie. He is very much his father's child when it comes to energy.
-He is a little ladies man. He'll talk to just about any girl/woman he comes in contact with as long as he's not tired and grumpy.
-He still wakes up around 4:00 every morning and gets into our bed until around 7. I usually end up sleeping out on the couch until it's time to get up. He does not sleep like a log.
-He likes to climb on everything, including people. He climbs on our legs and jumps off. It's not always pleasant.
-He likes to help with EVERYTHING! It makes me smile, but sometimes it would be a little easier if I just did it! I am getting better at being patient and I think I'm succeeding because he always tells Brad, "I helpful".
-I always tell him he's a good son, so he tells Brad that too.
-He usually recognizes when he's grumpy or sad and lets me know, but still tries to get out of trouble by telling me, "But I cwying". We've just had to tell him it doesn't matter, he's still in trouble.

Hopefully we'll have something more exciting to blog about soon...but probably not!
