Brothers

I have mentioned in other posts how great Donovan is with Malcolm. This continues to be the case. He and Malcolm have a great relationship and Malcolm loves spending time with him. That is not to say that they never get frustrated or upset at each other - but they always forgive and forget. They love to do really silly things and giggle together (sometimes to the great annoyance of their parents) and Malcolm's lack of language is no barrier whatsoever to the fun.

Donovan started school this week so it was a big change for the whole family. He seems to be doing really well. He is in a split grade one/primary (what they call kindergarten in Nova Scotia) of 17 kids. He has a male teacher who he seems to really like.

We had a great time in Ontario and the first two photos above were taken on vacation - both boys really liked seeing the dinosaurs at the ROM. They had a really great time playing with all their cousins and seeing everyone back home. We were thankful Dad made such a great recovery. Through all the hustle and bustle of the first week at school our hearts have been heavy this past week with the passing of my Aunt Pat. We will miss her.
