First Dance

Sorry this post is a little old. Back in February, Donovan's school had a "Fairytale Ball" for their Valentine's Party. Donovan was so excited, he was going to be able to dance with a girl from his class.



He got all dressed up, got to wear a crown and almost dance. Just as the music started his partner got a nosebleed. He wanted to dance so much, but, the nosebleed kept them from the whole dance.




***UPDATE 4/18/08 - I have been informed by Donovan that he is going to marry this girl from his class and that this weekend he needs to write her a (love) letter!***

****UPDATE 8/2/08 - Had to invite her to his party, was SO HAPPY when she came!***

***UPDATE 9/2/08 - Smile from ear to ear when he saw her in his 1st grade classroom. "She's in my class Mom, yeah!" Although, she may hove some competition, he is also in love with his teacher!***

Bubba and Allie B

"Bubba"...Donovan is 5! Can you believe it, 5 (6 in August) . I look at him and find it hard to believe how much he has grown. He is growing up to be a handsome little man. He amazes me everyday!

He is two-thirds of the way through Kindergarten and learning so much! Second round of Report cards are this week. He reading "sight word" books at school and these Scholastic books I bought at home. His favorite is Fat Cat and Hot Dog. He is so proud of himself. He started basic addition and subtraction at school this month. It's..."Mom - 2 plus 4 is 6 and 3 take away 1 is 2." WOW!

He is so fascinated with Outer Space. He loves to go on the NASA Kids website. Last month's Lunar Eclipse was in his words - AWESOME! Every week from the Library he brings home some sort of space books to read. I think he may just fly to the Moon or live on Mars one day.

"Allie B"...Allison, is 2 (3 in June) going on 20! She always wants "Pretties" (barrettes) in her hair and has been caught plenty of times putting on Mommy's makeup.

She is a smart little cookie. She can count to 15, sing her ABC's, cut with scissors (she's practiced at home on my curtains!) and spell her name.

She is such a little helper. She loves to help cook. She helps load the washing machine and dishwasher.

She has her moments too...Let's just say from all the Sharpie I have had to clean off of her and items in the house (including the cream carpet in her room), She may have a few tattoos of her own someday!
