Brag Blog

This blog is all about Gavin and the funny things he has done lately and just some other things that I don't want to forget about!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We went to Cody's cousin's baptism and as soon as they opened the doors to the font Gavin wanted to get right in it. We had to hold him back and he kept saying "I wanna bath, I wanna bath". Even after the doors were closed and it was over he went over to the door and wanted to "bath". I tried to explain it to him, but he wasn't really paying attention, he just wanted in that big tub! How do you explain to a 2 year old it's not a bath?!?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was time for Gavin to take a bath and this is how the conversation went:
Me: Gavin, come get in the tub
Gavin: PLEASE!!
Me: (after I got over the shock of being taught by my toddler how to be polite)
Gavin, Please come get in the tub
Gavin: OK momma

I guess I'd better start practicing what I preach!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gavin is learning all kinds of new words and loves to use them often even in the car. We drive down the road now and this is what we hear:
"Car, blue truck, car, car, house, stairs, house, stairs, car, blue truck, blue truck...etc."
It never ends! And sometimes if we don't acknowledge what he is saying and he thinks we should be he starts saying them louder until we do.
(Every truck is a "blue truck" to him because that's what daddy has, a blue truck")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
He knows all his letters now and if he sees letters he will say them also. We were at Wal-Mart and he saw the name on the outside of the store and spelled it for me all by himself
W-A-L-M-A-R-T
This really isn't that funny, but if you knew how bad Cody hated Wal-Mart and the fact that Gavin's first word he spelled all by himself with no prompting was Wal-Mart, it would be funny!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another bath story:
I had just gotten Gavin out of the tub and didn't pull the plug like I always do. I got him dressed and then Cody wanted to show me something on the internet so I left Gavin in his room and went to the computer. All of the sudden we heard splashing. We both thought that Gavin was playing in the toilet so we said in unison
"Gavin, No! Get out of there!"
Gavin replied, "Elmo bath".
Luckily as soon as I heard the splashing I was on my way in there so he didn't get completely soaked but he had his new Alphabet Singing Elmo in the bathtub. I told him that Elmo didn't need a bath and took him from him and Elmo went to the "hospital" to get fixed up. We dried him off really good, opened him up and took his electronic parts out and hoped for the best. Luckily, Elmo recovered completely with no permanent damage.

Gavin loves bunny's. We took him to see the real one's @ Peaches and he could have stayed there all day. I got out my bunny ears and he was wearing them all over. We kept talking about the Easter Bunny for days, but when we went to see him he wouldn't walk over to him. I went and sat by the Easter Bunny with him on my lap and when he realized who we were sitting next to he jumped off my lap and ran to the back of the store full speed. I went and got him and we started walking to the front of the store to leave and he said "no bunny mom, no bunny!" We had to completely walk the opposite way and then go to the front so he didn't have to see the bunny again. Maybe next year!

Gavin and I were at the Distribution Center and it was pretty busy. He was over playing with the toys and all of the sudden I hear, "Mom, I pooped!" And I guess he thought I didn't hear him so he came running over to me and once again, "Mommy, I pooped!" Luckily everyone just laughed. What a kid!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any time Gavin burps or farts he says:
"Excuse you Gavin"
It's so funny!!!

Cody put him down for a nap one afternoon (and forgot to take his shoes off of him). I went in to check on him later and this is how I found him, with his shoes on his hands. Notice he also has a binky in his mouth and I have no idea where that even came from because we are now"Binky Free". No more binky's, but apparently he has his own stash somewhere.

Gavin loves to be read to and loves to look at books. He is staring to read them to himself now and it is so fun just to sit and listen to see how he interprets the stories.

He got some finger paint for his birthday and he has a blast with it. Thank goodness I put down the plastic tablecloth, it was everywhere!

I keep my vacuum in his room because I don't have a closet to put it in. I went in his room awhile ago and he had put his vacuum right next to mine. This is exactly how I found it. They really do pay attention to EVERYTHING you do!

My little buckaroo! Besides Elmo, his "horsey" is his next best friend. He loves it!

I have told Cody numerous times that he can't leave his foot powder where Gavin can get to it, but sometimes he doesn't listen very well. Maybe next time he'll put it away!
