Morning Routine
Not only does Daddy wake up EVERY morning with you two, he also teaches you how to work out. All three of you do a workout from an app, and you both know all the positions and workouts. Its adorable to see. You are also both so much stronger than me! Push-ups? Wall sits? Sit ups? You do them all!

4 hour naps
Must be growing....you have been taking 4 hour naps during the day! 11-3, and not a peep from you! You even skipped lunch because you would rather sleep! Then you wake up, eat a TON of food, and then dinner again at 5:30. PLUS you still go to bed at 8pm. Dream come true? Yes. You sure are:)

Chef Gavin
Not only does Gavin help cook most our meals, he now insists on "plating" our meals. He will have us all sit down, and then he will put our food on the plates, and serve them to us! Its incredible, and so sweet. We love it, and we all eat whatever he serves...he makes sure! This is grilled wild salmon, garden tomatoes, and brown rice with garlic tomatoes. Gavin's choices and plating!
House full of chefs!
Gavin making homemade chicken nuggets and Austin making veggie stir fry. These boys love to cook!

Gavin goes to CAMP!
Well, today Gavin is going to his first ever summer camp! M-F 9-1, all without me! I will be dropping him and Ari (his good pal) off at 9, and Ari's momma will pick them up. Works great, yet I am still nervous!
This is the first time at Critter Camp. The kids get to have camp at Los Gatos Farms and ride horses, feed and take care of animals, and lots of other outdoor activities...
Austin was VERY sad that we had to leave after a few minutes...he says he wants to go to camp....not yet buddy, in a few years!
{Gavin 59 Months}
Dear Gavin,
In just one short month, you will turn five! I still can't believe my baby will be FIVE! You tell everyone you are "four and a half" and that half is very important. I keep explaining to you that you are actually almost five, but you like 4 and a half.
This summer has been a ton of fun and you are loving this warm pool weather. You are a complete fish, and you swim all by yourself now! No assistance from anything or anyone...just swim all over the place! We are so proud of you, and we are so happy we listened to you when you said you did not want to take swim lessons all those years...you just were not ready! Now that you feel comfortable, you took off! While in Ohio, you jumped off the diving board a million times and swam to the side, all by yourself! Even the high dive! What a BIG boy you are...we are just so proud!
You can also be found doing a lot of cooking this summer...both inside and outside. You LOVE to cook, anything and anywhere. Your cooking skills are definitely improving, and you are now into "plating" the food for us. NO idea where you learned this! Your creations are actually quite delicious, and most of the time edible. Sometimes we save them for Daddy to try;)
You are still napping on most afternoons, for at least an hour or two. You go to bed at 8 and get up at 6 on the dot. You are actually up before 6, but not allowed to come out of your room until then;)
You continue to be a great eater, and I think you are around 46 pounds. You don't look heavy in the least, but oh my goodness, impossible to pick up! Solid!
You are in 5T clothes and NO MORE DIAPER DURING NAP TIME! You totally outgrew needing it for naps! We didn't really ever push it at all, just thought you would use them until you didn't need them anymore. About 6 months ago you asked when you could not wear a "nap diaper" anymore. We told you when you had three dry naps, we would be done....and after our trip to Ohio, you seemed to be done! You are always dry after nap and you are so proud of yourself. We are too. One day you will outgrow your nighttime diaper too, but we may have a while for that, who knows. We are totally fine just letting you lead the way.
You have summer camp today, your first one ever, and I am so nervous! Never have I left you more than a few days, and this is every day for 4 hours! Yikes!! Thankfully its with one of your Mountain School teachers, so that makes me less nervous....but its on a farm with LOTS of animals...and you are so excited!!!
Love you more than you will ever know---to the moon and back!
