My Facebook status is often a quick Donovan story. Those posts receive the most comments and thumbs up, many friends often tell me they look forward to them. So many friends have also said I need to write them down and write a book, but it's 2010 - I started a blog.
I try to focus on the funny stories because real life with Donovan is a challenge. He's incredibly smart, terribly energetic and insatiably curious. Since he was a toddler, he has been into everything, full force, nothing can stop him. I've learned for survival we need to be one step ahead with a plan for the day, new activities and some way to occupy him or else we're doomed. Bored Donovan is moving, grabbing, jumping, pushing, climbing the walls. School is already a challenge and he hasn't even started kindergarten.
However, he has a huge heart. He loves babies, stopping to coo and rub their sweet baby heads every chance he gets. He loves dogs and asks every owner we see if he can pet the dog. He is truly grateful when someone gives him an unexpected gift and shows his appreciation.
When days are long and he doesn't stop moving, I often find comfort in the stories of Curious George: George tried to be good, but sometimes it's easy for a little monkey to forget.
I hope you enjoy the stories of our little monkey.
