Brothers

These photos were taken on Donovan's first day of school this year.  It was pouring rain so we couldn't go outside.  It was actually a day later than I had thought - school started two days after Labour Day, not the day after.  So that left me scrambling for someone to look after Donovan for one day so that I could go to work.  Donovan's daycare offered that he could stay in Malcolm's room - they had one or two other kids Donovan's age doing the same thing.

Both boys had a great day.  Donovan stuck with Malcolm most of the day and helped Malcolm with anything he needed (and he taught Malcolm's teachers some of his signs!), but mostly it sounded like they had a lot of fun playing together.  Donovan continues to be Malcolm's biggest fan and best cheerleader - he is so excited when Malcolm achieves something.  Although Malcolm doesn't always do what his brother wants, he does try to do everything that Donovan does and he really lights up whenever he is around him.  They are lucky to have each other.
