From that day forward my life would never be the same! Gavin has taught me so much. I've learned to appreciate the little things, sacrifice for others, the importance of patience, and how to love someone like I never loved before.
Today I am just as much in love with this boy as the first day I saw him. He is all boy and he most definitely works my nerves on a daily basis, but he is mine and I wouldn't trade him for the world!!
So what's new at 5?
* He loves being a big brother (well.. most days!) He even tells Megan not to call him Gavin... his name is "big brother". I think it has something to do with his love of being in charge!
* He loves to play outside. It doesn't matter what he is doing just as long as he isn't inside.
* He's a smart cookie! Some of the things he already knows are all his letters and sounds, colors, shapes, how to spell his first and last name, his address, and phone number. He can even add!
* Daddy is still his favorite parent! No contest here!
* He is having his first sleepover birthday party in 2 weeks. He has been talking about this "camp out birthday" for at least 3 months now!
* He is starting to understand that there is never enough money! Haha!
* If there were only two things he could eat for the rest of his life.... right now he would choose... PB&J and strawberry toaster streudels!
* He talks like he is in his 30's.... this has been known to get him in trouble alot as well!
* He must be in everyone's conversation whether he was being spoken to or not
* He will never leave to go somewhere or go to bed without finding each member of the family to give them a hug and kiss :)
To my "big boy". Happy 5th birthday buddy. Mommy loves you more than you may ever know. Hope this year is the best one yet!
