Never thought you'd say part 2

Daddy said: "Stop poking your eye with the fork, Gavin."

Mommy said: "We don't lick the water on the driveway, Gavin."

Brian was reading a book to Brooklyn the other night in a silly manner (Funny voices, etc.). Brooklyn said: "I don't have time to be silly."
I wonder if I've said that before? Makes me a little sad if I did.

Things you never thought you would say to your kids

I know everyone has these moments, but we had two in the last couple days that have brought us to tears after we said them. We laughed so hard and want to write a book about things you would never expect to hear a parent say to a child. Hopefully you find them just as funny and weird as we did.

1- (To Gavin) "Eat the Apple, not the slinky."
This happened Easter morning.

2- (Also to Gavin) "Stop dancing around that poll."
This happened at Brooklyn's bus stop this morning. The weather is turning warm (finally) and so we walked to the bus stop and he was swinging around one of the street sign polls and we needed to leave cause the bus already left. I was walking away when I yelled that.

Buzz Lightyear

Well I just got word that they are making a Toy Story 3. Coming summer 2010. Can't come soon enough. I have a little Buzz Lightyear around here lately.

The other day Brian and I got mad at Gavin for something. He stopped, looked at us, and put both of his arms up aimed at each of us and lazer beamed us cause he was so mad. Brian said; "Don't you buzz us." We laughed so hard after that we couldn't breath and Gavin got a giggle too.

I was right...

I was worried that when I started setting the timer for Gavin to go potty, he would get use to that "ding" and think he has to go to the bathroom everytime he hears a buzzer somewhere. So, I stopped using the timer after the first day, and started reminding myself every 45 minutes to set him on the potty.

Well, today, 1 week later, he is doing great. However, he was hiding under the kitchen table today about 10 minutes after he had already gone "pee-pee" and the dryer buzzer went off and Gavin says "Oops, it's time to go potty"

I was right, I new that sound would set a permanent fixture in his head about having to pee everytime he hears an alarm somewhere. I hope he grows out of it before he's dating a cute girl and hears the school bell ring, and tells her that he has to go "pee pee".

Potty update

We made it through 3 hours of church yesterday without an accident! YIPPIE. I am so proud of how good Gavin is doing potty training. In fact, today when we went to pick up Brooklyn from her bus stop, Chuck (the bus driver, and retired fireman) brought him a School Bus (a little bigger than a matchbox car), and said "he is proud of him going potty on the big boy potty." We love Chuck! I hope to get a picture of him soon and post it. Brooklyn is the last stop on his route, so he lets Gavin check out the bus most days. He thinks it's the best in the whole world. The worst part is trying to get him off the bus!

New Underwear

We went out to buy Gavin some new underwear, and he was so excited about them. We called Brian and work and he said, "Daddy, I hab wuzz wightyear panties, I mean underweaw. You wanna come to mommies houwse an see dem?"

Brian and I lost it. He was emplying that Daddy come home from work.

My Boy is 3

I no longer have a baby in this home. Okay, so I haven't had one in about a year now, but he really is my big boy. These last few years have flown by. Let me just reminisce...

"Buzz"

Gavin has been on a Toy Story / Buzz Lightyear kick lately. I have actually shown him both Toy Story 1 and 2. This is what he says when he wants to watch a particular one;
"I watch Andy's woom (room)?" = Toy Story 1
or
"I watch Buwzz wightyear?" = Toy Story 2

He doesn't like the beginning of #2 because of the Buzz lightyear video game. It must scare him a little bit. There are only 3 movies that Gavin has absolutely fallen in love with. They are: Cars (of course), Wall-e, and Toy Story.

Gavin quirks

Every single time we get Gavin's shoes on, he has to hide one behind his back. EVERY Time. He gives a laugh out too, cause he thinks he's being funny.
