life with dayna & gavin: Happy 3rd Birthday Gavin

Three years ago today, we were blessed to become to parents to this amazing little guy. At 6:20 p.m., he joined our family...all 7 lbs 12 oz of adorable-ness. What a sweet heart you have turned into little G-man. You are truly a mama's boy and are always ready with a hug for your mommy. You love to jabber away in bed, telling stories to yourself waaaaaaaaaaay past your bedtime. Lately, your favourite thing is to yell at the top of your lungs "I'm the king of the castle and you're the dirty rascal!"...it really doesn't matter where we are, grocery store, mall, playground, in the bathtub...wherever. You are also able to recognize all the letters of the alphabet, in any order. You know tons and tons of stuff, and are frequently "correcting" me when you feel I am mistaken on something. You and your sister are awesome playmates (most of the time) and you love to play together on the front pad, drawing with chalk or driving your trike around. Oh yeah - and you still LOVE tractors, as you have from a wee-baby. Recently you were playing outside while I was washing dishes. I didn't see you right in the back yard so I asked Daddy to go and see where you were. He calls to me,"Rache...come look where your son is". And where were you? Sitting on the tractor, "driving" away. And this is not a small tractor so you had mustered all the strength in your little body to climb up there, over gears and pedals right up onto the yellow seat. I went out to take a picture and asked you how you got up there , to which you replied,"I hopped on there and I hopped on there and I hopped up here!"

Gavin - you are such a sweet, gentle, soft-spoken, loving, smart and silly little boy and we love you to the moon. Oh yeah - when I ask you how much you love me, you say,"I love you to the moon, and the rainbows and the flowerbeds!"...

Happy 3rd Birthday little man :)
