This Week's Gavinisms

I'm sure eventually I'll forget all of these super things that Gavin is currently filling my life with...

5 Hugs Mom
Delaying bedtime, 'Need hug, Mom', delaying bedtime further, 'Need 5 hugs, Mom', delaying bedtime further and making a tired frustrated Mom laugh, "need 5 hugs other side"... Yes, we give five hugs on each side every night before bed. And sometimes 1 big squisherific hug!

You do YOURSELF Mom
'Gavin, would you like help picking up your toys?'
'No, Mom. You do YOURSELF.'
'Gavin, it's time to eat dinner.'
'No, Mom. You eat YOURSELF.'
I think it comes from the whole, do-it-yourselfness of a toddler - in reverse for when he doesn't want to do a darn thing.

go Sea HAWK
I hear it over and over and over yelled while I'm driving, when I'm cooking dinner and Gavin is jumping off the couch, when we're walking outside and someone with a football jersey is in sight,.... um every single day. I'm glad we have something in common I suppose :) It still sounds a little like 'go hee hawk' but I get what he's saying.

Gavin's also become great at ignoring (selective hearing) so I've had to taken up whispering in his ear when I want him to respond to things that I've said 5 times. So far seems to work.

Earlier I was rattling these weird things off - now I can only think of the 2. Oh well, must mean another boring post another day!

I don't think it is boring at all!

Gavin is too cute. Smart and good looking like his mom.

Boys have selective hearing that comes in the genes. Comes in handy for nagging moms, teachers and wives.

I see that Gavin has competition in the cute department. Oren, seen in comment above, is giving him a run for his money.
