{Gavin 40 Months}

Dear Gav,

Oh how much you have grown up! You are such a big boy, helping do everything around the house, including cooking and taking care of brother. You are the best help!

You stay very busy these days with school, soccer practice, gym class, cooking, building tents and forts, pretend cooking, reading millions of books, and so so much more. So busy, I can't keep up.

The past few weeks you have had some difficulty eating! For the first time in your life, we are having to bribe you to eat dinner. We tell you no dessert if you don't eat...and that usually does the trick. Ever since you had that terrible cold and sore throat, you tell us now that "Davin can't eat bc my throat hurts" and you ask us to feed you! Maybe its because we have to help baby eat? No idea, but its tiring! Now I understand how frustrating it can be to get a child to eat! We hope this passes fast!

Sleeping great. Some days until 7am!

Wearing size 4T in everything. Size SIX diapers at night and nap. Diapers are still very very wet in the morning, so not time to night train you yet! You are 36 or 37 pounds now...feels so heavy.

Talking our ears off all day and night. Talk to strangers. Talk to anyone who will listen. Ask WHY about 600 times a day. You ask strangers all the time "Hey! What are you doing?" and then if they respond you say "Why????" :)

Gavie-Life with you is so much fun. You are such a sweet guy. You love to joke and play. Your favorite thing to call people is a "Booger-nut"-- We love you-

Momma
