Last Days of Summer-Donovan's birthday and first day of Kindergarten!!!

 Donovan turned 5 on the 13th!  I woke up early and went to the store to get him a special birthday balloon and donut.  He was so excited and told me a few times that it was the best day ever!


We let him open the gift from Grandma Mindy.  Can you tell he loves Angry Birds?  Just wait until I post pictures from his party on Saturday!!!

 Donovan is a Kindergartner!!! 
 Chamae really wanted to be in all of the pictures...
 ...but I did manage to get one of him on his own:)
I am so excited for this new adventure in our lives!  We are so blessed to have our little Donovan.  He truly is a special boy.  He has such a kind heart, is so compassionate and always wants everyone to be happy.  He is so good at making friends and he is very loyal to those friends!  He is the very opposite of shy and will strike up a conversation with anyone that will talk to him...and sometimes even when they don't talk to him!!!  He is obviously not perfect, he has his meltdowns and he doesn't like to clean or leave his friend's houses...or have his friends leave our house, but in general, he is just a good kid!  He still loves to give us hugs and kisses.  Even when he is grumpy or crying, I can get him to smile just by telling him not to.  He thinks it's so funny to do the opposite of what I'm telling him, but usually only when he knows I'm teasing him:)  We are so lucky to have such a sweet, awesome, fun, crazy, handsome, active little boy!!!  I look forward to this next year, it is going to be so fun watching him learn and absorb new things!!!

Wow. School started already? So fun for him. I know he will do great and have so much fun going to school. He certainly is handsome, and I love those shoes with the orange laces!

Happy Birthday Donovan! 5 is a big year. Woohoo.

Is it weird having a kid in school? I don't feel old enough to have a kid in Sunbeams.
