Where did Daddy come from?

Donovan loves to reminisce about being in my belly....he knows that he, Delaney and Tenley once lived int here but he just asked if daddy was in there.....I said, "Nope that was one place he was not!" And he said, "Then where did he come from?" I said, "He was in Gegie's belly"....next question, "Who was in Pap-Pap's belly?" "Food" I said, "Just food" He smiled and said, "Yeah, lots of food...and cookies"

What's in a Name

I love how Tenley talks....She's trying so hard to get the words out correctly but of course, she has her shortcuts which just crack me up....She calls Donovan "Dodo" which seems extremely appropriate, Delaney is "Naney Dwace"....My mom is "Bomma" and so forth...its so cute....So Ben asked her this morning what he name is and she said, "Me" My favorite yet....

The talking Penis

So Donovan has been so good about Potty Training...so good that we really haven't had many issues....he went in, did it, we got rid of pull-ups fast...he was very determined....and its been great...very few accidents, all at night and those were so few also, until last week. He peed the bed every night...EVERY NIGHT!....I know this, because every morning I stripped the bed and washed everything....EVERY MORNING! So we talked to him about making sure he didn't drink anything after a certain time, let him know that he could never go to bed without peeing on the potty and that he really should try to get up at night and go on the potty, rather than pee the bed....So Friday night, we were extra cautious and we woke up Saturday with a dry bed...Very exciting after the wet week! So Ben made a big deal about it and then told Donovan that he should go and pee on the potty since he made it all night without peeing....He said, "well, my pee pee didn't tell me I had to go yet" Really? "Yeah, I telled him last night not to pee and he didn't but he didn't tell me yet to go this morning" A half an hour later, the talking penis did tell him to pee, btw.....I'm guessing this is the beginning of Donovan being controlled by his penis...

Big Kenny/Evan

Donovan is obsessed with some of Ben's basketball players....OBSESSED! I think he thinks they are super stars, even God-like with how fascinated he is by them....Well, his two favorites are Kenny and Evan....In fact, He calls Kenney "Big Kenny" and Evan, who resembles Kenny, he used to call, "Little Kenny"....We forced him to use his proper name cause he is older than Kenny and I'm sure he doesn't want to be call Little Kenny...Anyway....he was talking to my brother-in-law on the phone this morning and he asked what they are gonna name their baby...He told him before that it should be, of course, Big Kenny or Evan....So Pat told him he's naming him 'Big Kenny'....Donovan yelled, "He's naming the baby 'Big Kenny'"...then he went back to phone and said,"But I'm gonna call him 'Evan'" LOL

Hi

I just love how Donovan says he said hello to someone....He says, "Mommy I hi'd them" or "Can I go outside and 'hi' Christina?" I think its adorable and now Tenley is saying it too. She does everything he does....

Costumes

Oh man, looking up costumes with the kids is hilarious....Delaney said she wanted to be Marida from Brave and I could be her mom, and Ben could be her dad, and her triplet cousins could be the triplets and Donovan could be the Lion King LOL I thought we had a theme going.... Then she just pointed at a little girl and said, "OMG, its Little Red Howling Hood" LMAO Her mess ups crack me up more than anything....hahahahaha!
