Gavin's top 5

Gavin is turning into quite the conversationalist. His comments crack me up and prove that even though he has not been talking for 2 years, he has definitely been listening. (OPPS!)


5. Gavin got bit on the arm at school by one of his classmates (ergg). First of all, we play outside ALOT and sometimes at dusk, so Gavin has gotten mosquito bites before. He will show me during bathtime where he has bites. Then as we are getting jammies and putting lotion on after bath, we put caladryl lotion on them. Well, after his bath on this particular day he pointed to his arm (where he was bit by his classmate) and says "Mommy need medicine on bite, Bad John." Apparently the classmate that bit him is named John, anyway cute how Gavin thinks all bites, regardless of the 'pest' who did it, get caladryl medicine!!

4. Gavin likes to dance and at night sometimes we play music through our satellite and turn it up! Gavin comes home from school and keeps telling me "Mommy, Mommy, sake or boot e" He says this over and over and does this little jig dance with his hands in fists and wiggling his hips. I am totally clueless and it's like a game of charades as I try to decipher what he is saying. FINALLY it clicks, and I say, "Gavin are you saying shake your bootie?" He smiles big and laughts, "YEP! Sake or boot e!" and then I realize he is not just wiggling his hips, he is literally shaking his bootie! I just laughed and gave him big hugs and kisses!

3. Grayson was fussy at dinner because I didn't serve him fish sticks or chicken. Gavin looked at him and shook his pointer finger at Grayson saying "No, No Sayson, no whinning. Stop and Eat!"

2.Gavin asked who I was talking to on the phone. I explained to him that it was Salvation Army and the will take the things we don't need/want anymore and give it to people who want them. he sat silent for a moment, then said "Oh, like Boom Boom?!" (He is our chocolate lab who annoys Gavin with his constant licking 'kisses'.)

1. Okay, so I am a Mom who changes many, many poopy diapers. On this particular day, I smell "the smell" and ask Gavin, "Did you poopie in your diaper?" He doesn't even stop to look at me in the midst of playing, he just says "No Mommy, it's Sayson!" Poor Grayson not even 15 months old yet and getting blamed.
