Sweet

I know I say this a lot but Gavin is really sweet and very funny. For only being 2, he is very observant and is teaching me a lot about what I say and do and to make sure that it is always pleasing to the Lord! So, I thought that I would share a few funny things that he has done this past week!

1. We were riding in the car with the radio on and Gavin said, "Momma, I tired!" To which I replied, "Just close your eyes and take a rest." He didn't say anything for a minute and then I heard a sound from the backseat like whimpering, I asked him if he was ok and he said "I sad." I asked him why he was sad and he said, "I so tired, my eyes hurt, my ear hurts, my tummy hurts and my toe hurts." Needless to say, he was exhausted but wouldn't go to sleep when we got home!

2. We rode with my parents to church last night and I was in the back seat with Gavin. There was a song on the radio and we were all talking. Gavin said, "Look momma, I songin'!" I looked over at him and he was dancing in his car seat. He was really getting with it too!

3. My dad likes to watch Gunsmoke and there are reruns on in the afternoon. Yesterday Gavin and my dad were watching an episode and at the end two people kissed, Gavin looked at my dad and giggled and said, "Poppy, they got sugars!" When we want Gavin to give us kisses we ask him for some sugars, I guess he knows what we are talking about! It's amazing how observant he is and makes me realize how we need to screen what we watch on TV!

4. I think this is my favorite one of the day.....On our way home from church Gavin said, "Momma, I tired" I was expecting him to go on to say that everything hurt but instead he then said, "I sad." I asked him why he was sad and his response was, "I wanna pray!" How sweet is that! I asked him if he wanted to pray because he was sad and he said OK. So, we prayed and I asked God to help him to not be sad and to get a good night's sleep and thanked God for bringing him into our lives. We said Amen and that was all he said about it, we got home and got him ready for bed and he played and went right to sleep! It is amazing to me that he is already getting the idea that when we are sad we can talk to God about it and He makes everything ok!

I love this little boy more than you can imagine! His birthday party is this weekend so get ready for some pictures!
