We have been working on cleaning out the garage. We have thrown things out, dropped off paint and batteries to the ToxDrop, made a few trips to Goodwill, and sold our old washer and dryer. Scott and I built a workbench and bought a shelving unit for storage last weekend.
Scott and Gavin moved and arranged lots of screws, tape, manuals, and smaller misc items. Then, Gavin put together bolts, washers, and nuts for Daddy. He was paid a penny a piece. He got to count out 11 pennies and put them in his car ‘piggy’ bank. He was very proud. Gavin said that he is going to ‘work’ some more today for more money.

Gavin was super-excited about his snack of string cheese and a meat stick. Silly kid!

We stopped for dinner at Mark Pi’s and Gavin ate his weight in food. He LOVES rice, shrimp, chicken, water chestnuts (‘the crunchy things’), and potstickers. When we were leaving Gavin asked if he could stay. He is silly!
But, the ‘twins’ picture is below….

We bought a new washer and dryer a few weeks ago. They are shiny and they stack and they are shiny. I seem to get all of our laundry done quicker. It is not because it is faster… larger loads. They are wonderful! We stacked them and gained tons of room for storage. The washer is a little low to the ground, but I have a 3 year old!
Did I mention that they are shiny?!?!

Mommy – Whose boy are you?
Gavin – I am Mommy and Daddy’s boy!
**I really just wanted him to be Mommy’s boy!**
On our way home…
Gavin – I want to ask Daddy if he is going to make coffee.
Mommy – I bought Daddy some new coffee today.
Gavin – Can I see Daddy’s coffee? I want to smell it.
Mommy – Here you go!
Gavin sniffed it several times and then…
Gavin – There’s no more air. I can’t smell it
**Clearly, his Daddy’s boy!**
Gavin – Daddy doesn’t have a mustache. He waved it off.
Gavin – Mommy, can we cuddle on the couch and watch TV?
**Of course! And, we did for a couple of hours!**
While we were eating dinner, Scott was telling him about his work day. He was talking about different projects and people that were working on them. Gavin pipes up and says, ‘Daddy, what are you talking about?!?!’ I was thinking the same thing! =)
We got done with dinner and Gavin told Scott, “I want Mommy to get me down. She is my favorite cuddler.” And, he is my favorite cuddler!

While eating dinner Friday night, I asked Gavin to be quiet while Scott and I finished a conversation. Gavin tells me, ‘Mommy, I don’t want to be quiet. I like to talk. I like to talk loud’. Embrace your heritage Gavin… You are a Hepburn!

Gavin has been able to get his pants, underwear, and socks off all by himself. He has had a hang up with getting both arms out of his shirt. He can get one arm out and then can not get the other one out. Today, he was able to get his shirt off by himself. So, he stripped down naked and put clean clothes on. The only help he needed was the snap on his pants. What a GREAT job!

Gavin was supposed to bring something to class that started with an ‘I’. It could be an item to bring or a picture. He chose an iguana. Daddy printed out 2 pictures for him. He was excited. Gavin looked at me and said, ‘Next time we are at the zoo, I want to pet an iguana’. I told him that I did not want to pet an iguana. He says, ‘You can hide behind Daddy’.
Waking up from nap on Sunday, Gavin says, ‘I don’t drink beer’. Good job… You are 3… Mommy and Daddy would be in jail!

History… Gavin calls Gingerbread Men… Todd.
We got this Christmas Card from the Kulkarni’s who have seen Gavin’s infatuation with Gingerbread Men. We were eating dinner, Gavin points at the card, and says, ‘Daddy, you look like that with your shirt off’. We both about spit out our food.
Oh, out of the mouth of babes!

Gavin woke up from his nap and said, ‘I don’t like beer”. That is good news… You are 3… Mommy and Daddy would be in jail!
