Turning 2

Gavin turned 2 in June. Since then these are things that have changed about him: *He sleeps in a toddler bed- this was not by our choice but by his own choice of LEAPING from his crib when it was night-night time. It got so dangerous, the thoughts of having to take care of 2 infants and a toddler with a broken neck made me want to puke...so toddler bed it was! Since the toddler bed transition, he has slept: in our bed, next to Prints' cage (in Gavin's room), Gavin's bed (temporarily until sleeping in the other places listed), next to the entertainment center in the living room, on the wood floor outside our bedroom door. *He no longer addresses his parents by mama and dada (unless asked to repeat something in that form to one of those parents)- it is now Mom and Dad. For instance: Don't Mom, Don't Dad. No Mom, No Dad. *His "no" has changed. Since I have been home his no changed from no to nonononono. That drove me CRAZY. I told him that one no would be just as effective. Now, his no can be any of these (by his own creation): No. Nawwww. Nuh uh. *He rolls his eyes. Favorite foods: Tacos, gushers, fruit snacks, gummie bears (his vitamin) Some random stories or things he says: BIG DIGGER RIGHT THERE! HUGE! Dirty wheels (tires) Naughty trucks (cars) grass Too heavy, far Where did that ______ (mama, daddy, Prints, baby, anything else) go? There it is, right there. (Us: What do you want for Breakfast/dinner?) Tacos MONSTER TRUCKS! Door open? (He has this huge thing with doors recently) Scared water. Big Boom. Crash. Boats. Peoples in water. Splash. (he goes on and on about this particular thing...I don't even know where it comes from but it is always the same story) Smells good (smelling something freshly cleaned) All better (when a ouchy is healed or kissed) Yes, Sir. Nice 'n Cool (this was something Brandon said when it was hot in here and he had the air off and that he would turn it off so it would be 'nice n cool'...he said it once and now Gavin says it all the time) Bye- see you next time _____ (insert name) Good boy! & Watch out, Watch out!(He says this every time Prints comes in the house from going potty and he runs into the living room while yelling watch out) Alright, that's all I have now. Busy Busy.
