Falling Down

Gavin took a tumble down the stairs the other day. He had put on his snow boots and he isn't used to wearing them. I was cooking dinner and heard, "thump, thump, thump, waaaa." He was fine. I asked him how many steps he fell down and he said, "too many, like five."

 

 Pistachio Head - July 24, 2011

Is it weird Gavin asks for pistachios every morning for breakfast? Next time I'll look for salt free and see if he still likes them. He even likes having to break the shell to get them out.


Before You Were Born, Or Not


Several times now, Gavin and I have watched an episode of Samantha Brown's Europe, and I see places Shannon and I have been. I tell Gavin, "Mommy and daddy have been there. We went there before you were born." And he questions, "I wasn't with you? Did I stay here with Shelby?" (the babysitter). I tell him, "No it was before you were born. God hadn't created you yet. So it was just daddy and I." He thinks for a second with his eyeballs looking up to the sky and really doesn't get how this is possible. How could we possibly have existed before Gavin? Really how did we? What did we do with all of our time?
