goodnight sweetheart:
oh my dearest gavin,
lately you have been in so much pain with those teeth that just want to take their sweet sweet time to pop through. - i wish i could take that pain away from you, but i must admit- i love the cuddling time we share.
you have just developed a cold (thursday night) that has you coughing, sneezing and dripping nasty snot from your nose. -nothing has helped you sleep at night, and i must admit it gavin, i was very tired when you thought it was play time, but it was wonderful to see you so happy at such a late hour. and thank you for going back to sleep at 3 am, and sleeping in till 8!
did you enjoy those chickens out at the farm? -you tried to put your hands in the wire fence but one quickly pecked you and you laughed. i hope it didn't hurt!
you have spent a total of five hours in the car in the last two days. - i apologize many times over and over again and tomorrow we will only spend 45 minutes in the car, i promise!
daddy has been very busy helping jeremy with his derby truck and working on his bronco for the mud runs, which means he hasn't spent much time with you. - he WILL be spending a lot of time with you this week!
going along with the mud run talk... is it okay that you go with daddy for a little while? -please humor him for a bit. he wants to show you off to his redneck friends. and i promise he will be very careful, or mommy will get after him. if you do get scared, you just scream... i'll come and get you.
gavin, my dear, your toys have taken over our entire (small) living room. - can we please move them into your (small) room? or put some in storage, would you mind? i'm sure there will be some more after your birthday party in june.. ahhh :)
who do you love more? - you don't need to answer that, i know the answer is mommy ;) most days!
do you want a sibling? - mommy and daddy think no for now, is that okay with you? we want you all to ourselves for a little while longer.
do you think granny is funny when she makes that popping noise? -i don't!
jeremy is still commenting on your lack of hair :) -it's okay with me if you don't have hair, i too was a bald baby for awhile!
your love for fruit is making me oh so happy. -i too share that love, that's something we have in common.
i know bella licks you, a lot, and sometimes she licks your lips, GROSS.. -i promise if you push her away she will stop, your giggling doesn't help the situation my love. and eating her dog food isn't a good idea either.
sticking your head in the spindles at grandma and grandpa's isn't a good idea. - the butter and soap won't feel good on your head when we have to pull it out.
we have a very busy summer this summer ahead of us.. -it means a lot of spending time away from mommy and daddy, but we will make up for it by numerous trips to fun places.
do you understand what i say? -you know when to smile when i say things to you, and you don't like it when i yell at bella (or daddy), so do you hear me when i say i love you countless times over and over again. or do you hear me whisper to you before i go to bed and say i love you? do you say it back? my little wonderful, daddy is in such a hurry to have you grow up... but i want you to stay young for awhile longer and love your mommy. i know the days when you talk back, yell, disobey and stay out late will eventually come, but as for now there hasn't been a moment i haven't utterly enjoyed. spending everyday with you has it's ups and downs, but being there to see you roll over, first crawl, stand up and say "da da" has been well worth it. gavin, i am blessed to have you! you are the most important thing in my life and i cherish you more than anything. i love you, and i will love you forever.
