Best and Worst Awards of 2009

2009 was a wonderful year for Donovan and Hayden. They are definitely growing into two fine toddlers, and they have handled the curve balls dealt to them quite well. From the mid-year house move to a new community, to going through the motions of potty training, spending time away from mom and dad, and learning to share toys (which they are still learning), they have handled the ups and downs.

Its time for Donovan's and Hayden's Best and Worst List of 2009!

Worst Accomplishment: Tantrums. challenging the effectiveness of time outs, Lippin' off.
