Things Gavin Says

Gavin has such a large vocabulary, and in my mom's words "he has a word limit he must reach each day." She says that I used to be the same way, so it's payback! Hehe. We start every morning with him needing a full run-down of what we are doing that day. And if I say, "we're gonna go to the library, then the grocery store, then eat lunch, then just have a good night!" He immediately comes back at me and says "No Mom! We're gonna eat breakfast, get dressed, go to the library, grocery store, come home, eat lunch, take naps, have a snack, play, take baths, THEN have a good night!" We can't leave anything out! 

Lately some of the things he has been saying have either had me speechless or cracking up so I wanted to jot a few down to remember! 

G: If anyone tries to get you or Crew, me and Daddy are gonna put our costumes on and GET EM!

Me: Who is Daddy gonna be? 

G: Superman, and Im Ironman

I was taking G to bed, and he was thirsty. But we were already all the way in bed, so I told him I wasn't going back down to get water. 

G: Mom can you make me a water and leave it on the kitchen table?

Me: yea, but when are you gonna come get it? 

G: about 11:30

Making G toast in the morning while he watches Transformers: 

G: Mom! You can't stand in front of me when Optimus Prime is TRANSFORMING!!

The other day I had a conversation with Gavin about how he's growing up too fast. How I want him to stay my little Gavvy, and always want to snuggle with Mommy. I asked him how old he is about to be: 

G: Im about to be 4, then 5, then 20! 

Me: No you can't get any bigger!!

G: Ok I wont eat anymore food, I'll just drink drinks so I dont get any bigger! 

That last one seriously struck a chord with me. I love our daily conversations and absolutely LOVE the age he is now bc he's still my baby but is so grown-up too. And he's right that one day he'll be 5, then the next...20. If only he knew how true that statement is for both Eric and I. We talk about Gavin all the time and what a big helper he has become and how much of a gentleman he is to his Mommy lately. Im sure I'll think of a million more "things Gavin says" and have a whole other post to keep you updated!
