Gavin

I just wanted to write a bit about what Gavin is doing these days. He is just growing and changing so quickly and I want to make sure that I write some of these things down.
He is enjoying kindergarten and is learning a lot. He is finding patterns around the house, learning about reading and taught me the difference between fiction and non-fiction tonight during book time. Right now he is really looking forward to Halloween. He loves dressing up and is going to be a vampire for Halloween.
We usually carve a pumpkin with Grandma and Grandpa Ericson before Halloween, but Gav and I were ill this weekend, so we carved it last night.



Here is Gavin scooping out the pumpkin.






Gavin drew the face on the pumpkin and then I carved it out for him.



Here is Gavin with his Jack-O-Lantern (making spooky faces).




Here is Gavin with his Vampire teeth for his Halloween costume.


Some of Gavin's favorite things to do these days :



Cast his fishing pole in the house with various items tied to the end of the line....
His favorite has been a kitchen towel since it casts nicely and he doesn't get in trouble when he hits stuff in the house with it. Also tied to the line at one time: bicycle horn, vampire teeth, small blankets, paper airplanes, other various toys....

Making Paper airplanes.....
Lots of paper airplanes! There are paper airplanes everywhere in this house. Gavin turns every scrap of paper he can find into an airplane. Don't leave any important papers out in the open because odds are, it may be flying across the room soon.

Gavin also loves:

Playdoh

Chinese Food

Kale (although the feeling may not be mutual)
