Donovan's Wonder Blog

I spent the day in my pajamas again. That was because our laundry still wasn't back this morning.

But I started the day out by playing my recorder. It's good and noisy. A surefire way to wake up the whole neighborhood.

Then since we had a hard time sleeping last night we took what Mom calls a "massive nap." It was almost 2 hours long. I felt great afterwards.

We went for a walk this afternoon to see if we had any mail and if our laundry was back yet. It wasn't.

When we went back, Mom did some gardening and I watched. When the neighbors drove by, I waved.

Later we took a short ride. I was so groggy by the time we got back into the neighborhood that Mom just drove around the block a couple of extra times and I fell asleep in my carseat. Mom was nice and didn't wake me. She just busied herself with some gardening near the truck while she waited for me to wake up.



This evening she let me feed myself a little bit, but she didn't want me messing up my pj's, so she took over before I got too far into it.


Then she played peek-a-boo with me around the refrigerator door. It made me laugh.






So then I made Mom laugh by tickling her little piggies.








I keep trying to convince Mom that not only is the paper in the bathroom a great source of amusement, but a great source of fiber also. You wouldn't believe what she thinks it's for!

She was trying to flush some down the toilet again, today, but I caught her. I grabbed one of her nice smelly lotions and tossed it in just before she pressed the lever.

She was upset. That will teach her, though. Maybe she ought to consider the value of the things she tries to flush away.







I tried to climb the ladder that our neighbors loaned us. Mom tried to take a picture.

Well, there's a small delay on the camera's shutter, and I swear, I was standing on the ladder when Mom pressed the button. Looking pretty cool, too. Oh, well. Not a big deal. I didn't even think it was worth crying over.

Note to self: not everything with a hole in it is a wind instrument. No matter how hard you blow, some things just don't make noise. (This bottle is empty. It's a mixing bottle that hasn't been used yet.)




This evening I did a little work on one of my toys. I had to check it's allignment. I figure if I'm going to learn to work on big boats like Daddy does one day, I gotta start somewhere.

Tonight when I went to bed, I woke up after a little bit. Our neighbor lady came upstairs to get me and said that Mom was out picking her daughter up from work. Well, a few minutes later Mom walked through the door with a big smile on her face and a basket of laundry in her hands. It was the laundry that had been taken from us last week! Almost all of my onesies and sweatshirts are in there, not to mention my socks and several of Mom's items, too. We are so happy!

Mom says now I don't have to spend the whole day in my jammies anymore. Thank goodness! I was tired of trying to keep clean all day long!

It's just not natural.
