Donovan decided he was helping put away clothes this morning. He’d already helped with the bed, though I’m not sure how taking the pillowcase off of the pillow helped me much. Anyway, he sorted laundry into the right baskets, then put away towels and washcloths. Was too much fun.

For school tomorrow, I needed rope for a little anti-tug-of-war activity. Scott picked it up for me and bought more than we needed. So tonight, he cut it off and gave Donovan what was left. Now we have to play tug-of-war Donovan style. You pull for a minute, and then he runs toward you and knocks you backward. I’m not sure that’s how you’re supposed to play, but he manages to win in his typical crazy way.

Strip off his shoes, give him a cowboy hat and a wagonload of pumpkins to play with, then stand back, world.  Here comes the King of Charm.
