Visible Changes Company Conference

On Monday, Visible Changes had it annual company conference. It's a black tie awards ceremony and a HUGE deal every year. It was also Kevin's birthday. He decided that he wanted Donovan to attend the conference with us. Jonathan is still too little, so he spent some extra time with Grandma and focused on playing with a tape measure. He wants his own now and asks for one constantly.

Donovan was SO good all day - and it is a long day when you are 5 years old. He had perfect behavior. And, he had fun! We dressed him up in a little suit and tie. He loves being dressed up - must get that from Daddy.

It was the first time that many of the people in Kevin's company actually saw Donovan in person. He was flooded with compliments about how cute he is. And he just eats that up - but who wouldn't?! Of course, he charmed everyone who met him too. That boy can work a room!!! Kevin introduced him to one of our friends (a female) and on his own, Donovan took her hand and kissed it. She absolutely swooned. That's our boy.

Donovan even got to go up on stage with Daddy to accept one of his awards. The next day when he saw the trophy, he said "Mommy, thank you for having Daddy get that trophy for me." I had to gently tell him that the trophy was not actually his, but Daddy's trophy for all of the hard work that he does for our family. He's decided that Daddy will share it with him. I'm sure that is true. The two of them have formed their own mutual admiration society - they are both SO proud of the other. I have three amazing boys - 1 big and 2 small.
