Hello everyone! So sorry for the late entry, as it has been a crazy few days leading up to me turning the big 2. I was sick with a cold and required lots of cuddle time, which means it was hard to get in front of the computer. But, I am feeling back to my old self now, so onto my latest entry....
In keeping with tradition, here are my top 10 things I enjoy doing now that I am officially a toddler:
(Drum roll please...)
Turning 2: Top Ten
1.
Dancing...I love to dance whenever I hear music, but sometimes I just like to dance in the kitchen simply because it is fun! Watch out everyone because I have some pretty sweet dance moves I am working on!
2.
Reading...I love to read books and have them read to me as well! Sometimes I just pick up a magazine and read it for a good 5 minutes, but most of the time, I can be found reading my favorite book that I have to read every night before I go to bed. (Yes, every night!)
3.
Playing...I love going to the park to play on the slides and swing. I can't get enough of the park and we usually stay until I am so tired out that I am about to fall asleep! I have no fear and want to swing as high as I can, and want to go on all the "big kid" slides too.
4.
Zoo...I love it when we head to the zoo, because that means I get to see all of the animals! Everyone can hear me saying "LOOK" really loud when I discover a new animal at the zoo. On our last two trips, the sea lion and the turtle were my favorite, although I still really love the monkeys and the lions!
5.
Playhouse...I got an early birthday gift from my Auntie Joy and Uncle Shawn, as they couldn't wait to give my my gift. They got me a playhouse for my yard!! (Yes, they spoil me just a little bit!!)
I love playing inside of it and when my mom and dad try to come in, I tell them no. (Does my dad really think he would even fit inside?)
6.
Dominic...Now that my cousin Dominic is back in the United States, I am super excited because I have grown attached to him. He is a pretty cool guy to hang out with and is always making me laugh! He even let me help him catch the first fish of the season this year at the lake. I got to help him reel it in, and he let me touch it before we let the fish go back into the water. (It was slimy!)
7.
Coloring...I love to color now, and ask to do it every day when I get home from daycare. Lately I have been coloring pictures and cards to send to my best buddy, Dominic because he left for basic training for the Army National Guard and I promised him I would send him cards and letters every week. He is scheduled to come home at the beginning of August, so I have a lot of coloring to do for him, and because of that I am learning my colors now!
8.
Hiding...I love to hide and have my mom and dad find me! One of my favorite places to hide is in the kitchen (my go to spot). For some reason they always find me though, maybe I shouldn't be yelling "here I am".
9.
Swimming...I am a little fish! I love swimming in my pool in the back yard and could stay in it for hours and hours. Sometimes I splash so much water that my mom and dad need to fill it back up, but they don't mind. I think everyone in our neighborhood knows when I am in my pool, because I like to yell and scream with excitement the whole time I am in there.
10.
Birthday Cake...Well, for my second birthday I realized I have a love for cake! My mom did a Sesame Street theme this year, because that is my favorite show, or as I call it "Sessy".
We had bubbles to blow, calk to make make pictures with, the pool to swim in, Sesame Street themed snacks and the best part....CAKE! My Auntie Joy (the cake master) outdid herself again this year by making me an amazing cake all from scratch. (No box mix cake for her!) Since the theme of the party was Sesame Street, and my two favorite characters are Elmo and Cookie Monster, she made the cake to match the party, and boy was hit a hit with all of my friends and family! As you can see, I enjoyed it very much!
Well, that is my
Turning 2: Top Ten list! I hope you all enjoyed reading about it as much as I enjoyed getting to experience it all! I truly am a lucky boy, and so are my mom and dad!
Stay tuned....I hear that I get to start this thing called Potty Training soon. (Not sure what that is, but it sounds rather complicated.)
Until next time...
Donovan
