Best Day Ever

Gavin and I had such a great day. He was very creative this morning and made the masterpiece below.



We went exploring in the neighborhood and found some great places to ride his Razor scooter. It was such a lovely day and wonderful to be outside in just sweaters in January!










We had lunch at Sonic. While we were waiting for our food we created a "Michael Jackson" station on Pandora and sang "Beat It", "Thriller" and "Eye of the Tiger" as loud as we could in the car. Gavin then made "poop piles" with his grape slush.

After lunch we checked out the party store and bought some valentines and balloons. Earlier today Gavin earned a prize on bookadventure.com which was a booklet on making balloon animals. When we got home Gavin sat down and learned how to make balloon dogs, swords and dinosaurs. It is the cutest thing ever.




So much fun with my beautiful, imaginative, intelligent, wonderful boy!

It was a really fun day. We did this thing where I got points for reading and I used the points for something amazing. I also went riding on my Razor scooter. After that we went to Sonic to eat and then we went to the party store and then after that we went to the grocery store and then after the grocery store home. We blew up all these cool balloons because that was what I used my points for, how to make balloon animals. We blew up balloons for the rest of the night. The End.

My Artist

Gavin has really taken in interest in art, drawing and coloring the last few weeks. He and daddy spend hours working in their sketchbooks. Perhaps he does have some of daddy's artistic talents after all. Art is also now one of his favorite subjects in school. For our last lesson we studied Monet's water lily paintings and he created his own painting in the style of Monet.

Projects

I love Gavin's projects. Today it was about balancing crayons. Much time and patience went into his masterpiece.

It was cool, it took about a half an hour. I used my remote control droid to knock it over when it was done.
