Our son sent me an email about something Gavin tried and once I was completed reading it I printed it off so Walter could read it and then I put it in Gavin's memory book that he will get at about age 20. I have one I work on, too, for Hayden.
At any rate. Yesterday at naptime Gavin did not want to take his nap because he wanted to go to his new friend's swimming pool so he said to his mom "I have a deal for you, mommy." Katie asked what the deal was. Gavin said "How about if I take my nap in my swimming suit and then I will be ready to go back and swim when I wake up?"

Katie said that would be fine. Then Gavin said "Mommy I have another deal for you. How about if I use Luke's swimming pool for my bed to take my nap in?"

Katie kissed him and tucked him in.
Walter thought the thought process was so amazing from a not yet 4 year old, that Katie should have given in. I told Walter it made me laugh but had I been there I would have hugged and kissed him and tucked him in for his nap just like Katie did.
Gavin is not yet 4 going on 40. Sometimes his ability to make connections from one idea to another amazes me, too.
A light moment in my grandma world.
We are going to make the 4 hour trip to see the boys on my 57th birthday which is Thursday and stay and come home on Sunday so I will probably not post until we are back from there except for now and tomorrow and Thursday morning. Being "faraway grandma" does require this grandma to make the trip at least a half dozen times a year and they come home here when they can.
always with love,
