No Fooling Me...

If you hear Donovan talk...he thinks he is too cool for all of the so-called baby things.  No Yo Gabba Gabba for him, no baby forks (as he calls the kid forks), no napping, no having mom do his hair (yea, still do it, though) and lots of other things...but don't let him fool you.  This kid is OWNED by a sweet 23 month old who likes all things pink.  Donovan is a fabulous big brother to her.  He is patient and giving.  He plays with whatever she wants and watches whatever she picks.  He'll give her a sip or a bite of anything he has.  He will give her his balloon when she accidentally lets go of hers and cries.  He will help her find anything she needs.  I think watching your kids interact in this way is one of the BEST things about being a parent and also the best, "Hey, we must be doing something right!" the universe can offer.  Oh, and when Matilda wants her "Don-in" to snuggle with her on her pink princess couch?  He's there...
