not really. but i decided i wanted it to be. mommy asked me if i wanted to bake a carrot cake today and i told her "that's disgusting" (which is by the way, my new favorite thing to say). so she asked me what i wanted to bake and i said a birthday cake--a blue one with red frosting. so, we went to walmart and bought a mix and tub of frosting--white--and we made cupcakes and put food coloring in them. and i decided that it was my birthday. i even put candles in my cupcakes. happy birthday to me!
conversations recently had with mom, that some might think are interesting. i dunno. just trying to express my opinion. ask a question. you know. i'm almost 4. inquiring minds wanna know, y'know?
there is a cement factory that might be built near our town and mommy and daddy are mad about it. a long time ago, we went to a meeting in an old building with a lot of other people who think its a bad idea. i was thinking about it recently and asked mommy why we went to that meeting. when she told me, i said
"i can think of 2 reasons why it is good to build a cement factory here. one, is people can have nice furniture with cement inside and two, you can build foundations for new houses." you know, she said i was right and that they were two very good reasons and that everyone can have an opinion. see, i THINK about this stuff. clearly, mommy doesn't.
the other thing i said was "gas is like food for cars." mommy said something like, yes my genius son. you're right. you're brilliant. not quite a direct quote, but she said something probably pretty close to that. then i said "what if cars used electricity instead of gas?" mommy said that pretty soon that might be true. probably because i said it. don't let anyone tell you a 3-almost-4 year-old didn't invent electric cars. because i did. yes i did. YES I DID!!!!! stop lying and saying i didn't! i DID YOU BIG DARN DOODY HEAD!

one last exciting thing
so over the weekend i say ti mom something like "i wanted to get out the boogers so i put the green from the tomato in my nose and now i can't breathe at all" apparently mommy thought i could breathe okay, because she didn't panic. couldn't see the tomato stem with the naked eye tho---oh no--i put it waaaaay waaay up there. lucky for me mommy has an otoscope and she looked up my nose and found it. while calling the vitaline nurse and waiting for her to call back, mommy went to the store to get big tweezers. well, when i found out what she planned on doing with those tweezers, i found a way to snot-rocket that tomato stem right out my nose. no everything is jut fine.
kindergarden here i come!
what a topic of conversation in our house. first they changed the age to go to kindergarden so i was going to be stuck in daycare (we call it preschool, now) for an extra year. then we heard we could find a way for me to test in early which wouldn't really be early, just when it used to be. then we heard they changed the cut off date back but not until next year, which is when i need kindergarden anyways. and if that wasn't bad enough, at my preschool the transition from OP (older preschool) to either Pre-K or a different OP is a big hot topic. parents have very definite opinions of which class they should go to, which teachers they should have and even which friends (we call students "friends" here )should be in class with them. but they are assigned by the bosses. mommy told the bosses, "you know donovan, so just put him where you think he will be the most successful" mommy said she isn't going to play that "but MY child needs to be here this year!" balony. so am i going to go to OP2 where most of my friends are going? after OP2 then they go to pre-K. or do i go straight to pre-K? then i can get into kindergarden early. or, as my parents say, i can spend 2 years in pre- k if i ain't ready to go to kindeegarden. i think we decided that i will skip OP2 and go right to pre-K. it will be some older kids, but once they realize that i am actually superman, it will be okay. i get to keep my same teachers. mommy says i am going to have to learn things like buttoning my pants and wiping my butt better after i poop. i think pre-k is kind of a big deal. i will start pre-k next week and then next month---i turn 4 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
donovisms
i will tell you all about our family vacation, but first i have to tell you something i told mommy that she thought was funny. i had jotted down a few of my more recent donovisms, but somehow they became missing, which totally sucks(a word i do say).
i mentioned that i am not allowed to talk about how people look. especially if they are fat. especially if they are fat and mommy. well, sometimes i forget. so, i looked up mommy's shirt--it WAS after dinner, so give me a break--and it looked.....like she had eaten a big dinner. so i said, "WHOA MOMMY! YOU.....(this is where i catch myself)...had a big dinner so i just want to make sure your tummy isn't getting ripped out of your skin because then there will be blood and then you'll die. " and that was where i was smart enough to tell the old fat broad that i was worried and i loved her, hug hug. i don't think she caught on to my almost saying what i almost said.
also, i am officially going to preschool this year--next week--and i know it is because i know things like this: said to mommy when asking for a glass of tonic water with lime. no gin, no vodka, just tonic, ice and a slice of lime. just like mommy drinks it. she gives it to me because she can't figure out if it is soda and i am not allowed to have soda unless someone like aunt tiff gives it to me. but me and mommy, we looove our tonic and lime. so i explained to her that "tonic water is good for me because it has a lot of protein in it. and the protein goes into the cells in your blood and takes out the old protein. then the old protein goes out in your poop, so that is why i want tonic water." look, you just can't argue with science. that is the key to getting your way--especially as a kid---prove your point. defend your argument. who doesn't want the bad protein to be wisked away out of the potty.
did i really not post about out Family Vacation? seriously? another time. the hiking... the fishing... the river....the campfires, man it was fun.
i got to spend a weekend without mom and dad recently, which was pretty cool. unca jas and aunt tiff came to my house and spent the weekend while mommy and daddy went away on a romantic grown-up trip without me. i offered to come, but they said no. i had fun with them. but i can't post tooo much about it because one of you readers might be a spy and tell mommy what we did and what we ate and all that. we had a good time, let judt lave it at that. and yes, there as some drinking. it was one lousy sprite and i handled it just fine.

continuing to play catch up. this is my baby book after all.
another cool thing. aunt kendra came with the cousins--shea, auryn and cian. shea is a big boy like me but auryn and cian are babies. we had fun tying them up, because all they could do is cry. then. i was so excited to go to the 4th of july fireworks (far-works i say it, here in these parts). mommy is a big fat party pooper (ooops i forgot, fat is a swear word in our house and i am not allowed to call anyone fat, even if they are) because she didn't want to go. she thought it would be too scary. well, i really wanted to go and so did everyone else. turns out everyone really DID like it........except me. right from the first kaboom, i screamed "run! run! get me outa here!" it was like she was pulling me from a burning building, considering the reason i was so afraid was that the fireworks were going to land on us and electrocute us.mommy had to RUN and carry me. i guess it's good she keeps going to that gym. it's interesting that i am so deathly afraid of fireworks but not lightening, which we get a lot of here.
i still like going to monkey joes.
we took a ferry boat to the aquarium, where there are all the fish from nemo living there.
speaking of fish, i took swimming lessons. it was fun. i don't go under water much, because i don't want to get water in my eyes. it was very fun. we went with school. on the bus.
did i tell you that for a few weeks i insisted on sleeping on the floor snuggled up to a fan? yeah. i still am super duper into fans, but i sleep with it very very close to me while i sleep in bed. i often sleep in my buzz lightyear costume from halloween because, well, actually i AM buzz lightyear. i AM.
new fears, suddenly. out of no where. lightening. always loved it. suddenly petrified of it.
i have become an interesting boy. well, usually i am not a boy but lightening mcqueen or buzz lightyear or spiderman or a queen, but still. i am cool. and smart.
recently said to my mom. what was so smart was that when i looked at her big fat belly, i remembered to stop myself from saying that so i just wiggled it and said
"i just wanted to make sure you didn't eat too much so your skin doesn't rip open and then your blood will fly out and you will be dead." that went over better than when i giggled her belly and said "oh my god, look at that big fat belly"
