Boy

Just a quick post before bed....

Tonight after Gavin's bath, he is running around in only socks and a pull up. He runs into the room where Aunt Becky, daddy and mommy are sitting, grabs his pull up and takes a peek inside. "I'm a BOY!" he happily yells.

Sibling

Today I was reading a book about sharing to Gavin. A little boy shared with is sister, mom, dad, friend and even his pet. When the story was all done Gavin jumped up and ran from the room to where his daddy was working on homework. "Daddy I want a sister."
Jeff now blames me for putting ideas in Gavin's head.

Singing

I sing to my son all the time.
My son sings to me all the time.
We sing together all the time.

Today I was cleaning up the kitchen and washing the dishes. The only way I have found to have some enjoyment in doing this most hated chore is to rock out to my music. Usually Gavin is in playing with his train or reading or doing one of the many things that distracts him. Anyway, I was rocking out with my headphones on and singing to the music when I hear..."Mommy....Mommy?" I turn and bend down to his level. A little hand is placed on my cheek and with all the seriousness he could muster "Mommy dont do that."

I no longer can sing in my kitchen while I do dishes without my little boy running in the room yelling, "mommy dont sing!"

spent the day outside today

You would think that because I didnt have a job yet I would have time to post more often.
Anyway...
This weekend we spent hours outside enjoying the Florida sun and being a little family.
We ran around.
We played basketball.
We laid on the grass looking up at the cloudless sky. While we layed there Gavin made me shed happy tears by saying, "Mommy you make me happy."
How does a two year old know how to say that? How did he know saying that would make all my worries and sadness go away?

To end...here is a little song to make your day.

update

Living in Florida is good for a growing little boy. He spends hours outside playing in the dirt, trees and chasing neighborhood cats around.
Watching him grow is a wonderful thing.

"I know" is a popular saying from my 2 year old.
"Go to the beach" is said almost everyday.

Aunt Becky is coming to visit in a few weeks and when I told Gavin he got all excited and jumped around. "Aunt Becky watch fish movie with me?" ( this is because when we were at Aunt Becky's back in July or August he watched Finding Nemo and loved it.

It seems that every time we are in Wally World they have the movie Walli going in the electronic section. "I love that robot."

In Sabbath School we are learning about Zaccheus and Gavin has the whole song learned and almost has all the movements perfect.

He is my growing little boy.
