Apparently it is impossible for a two (practically three) year old to sit still. I have about 15 pictures in this same spot and this is the best one. Pathetic, I know. But thats a boy for you! (thanks to J and K for creating a perfect photo op in front of their CUTE house)

Being an only child must be rough. Gavin has resorted to Elmo and Pooh Bear as constant companions. Actually, the Elmo stuffed animals are new to the sceene, but Pooh has been going everywhere with us and Gavin has been treating him like a human being. We set him a place at breakfast, we wipe his nose when it is runny. Gavin attempts to change his diaper ( even though we have no diapers in the house . . . maybe I should have Gavin potty train pooh so he knows what it is like!!) , he gets buckled into the car when we go places(poor pooh has to sit in the car a lot, I refuse to let Gavin take him inside). Pooh even gets covered up at night and gets his back rubbed by Gavin. When we ask Gavin why he loves pooh so much he simply says, "We are buddies!" So there you have it, the desperate measures my son takes to have a playmate - I guess it isn't always that much fun to play with your mom! I know this pooh story is dragging on forever, but I just have to add this one last bit. The other day Gavin wanted me to play trains with him, but I couldn't so I said to have pooh play with him and Gavin says, "But he doesn't have any hands!" Okay, enough with the pooh stories . . .

Gavin got to take a bubble bath today. I think its his first ever. He liked it. It was a must after our morning craft . . . (see picture below)

This is our craft today. It is supossed to look like a tree with fall leaves. Does it? He sure had fun getting paint all over his hands and arms. We made about six of them. Suprisingly, this was the best one. We like to make them for everyone in the family! Gavin even picks which one goes to whom (is it who or whom?).

Anyway, thats what we've been up to . . .
