Start a band?

So I'm thinking it might be time to start a band with the kids. Carly loves the piano, and now here's Gavin with a guitar he got for his birthday (19th)......



So what should Shane do? Drums perhaps? Do they make quite drums? Actually, now that I think about it Shane could sing! Not sure if he's got a good voice but he loves to sing and he has a great at memorizing song lyrics. Disney here we come! Hehehe.

Anyway, thank you everyone who was able to come to Gavin's birthday party yesterday...hope you had fun. I know he did! We tried taking him to SeaWorld on Fri but apparently they close at 5pm on Fridays....found that out after we parked and walked up to the gate at 430pm.....SERIOUSLY!?! I felt soooo bad! Anyway, we ended up at Belmont Park played some arcades and rode the only ride Gavin was big enough to ride then we went out for dinner....I love when he picks Outback! Hehehe. We have plans to go back to SeaWorld on the 31st since that's when our free passes expire....I already checked; they close at 9pm :)

3 Candles

Wow, time is flying...time to slow down!!
Tomorrow our little monster, Gavin, will have three candles on his birthday cake! Sometimes I think he is older and sometimes I call Carly: Gavin...and not cause she is being bad :)

Since my last update on him, he has improved greatly on the potty training! Nighttime is our major battle cause if he doesn't have water at night he will cough all night.

I also got into trouble when we ran into his old daycare provider when she said "oh, Gavin, your mommy still lets you suck on your fingers" EEEKK! I don't LET him...he just does and I can't take him fingers away from him. I really want him to stop....I can see the ortho bills increasing every time I see him do it. I tried some surgical tape today.....worked pretty well after I got over him whining about it allllllll day. Then it was nap time and he became more determined than ever to get the tape off......I am now confident that he will always succeed in anything he sets his mind to do.Anyone who know him knows he is very determined and stubborn....not easily persuaded....not in the least. So what do I do? No, seriously, if you have a secret please do tell!!!

"Gavin, Happy Birthday my precious monster! You're awesome!
Keep making us laugh out loud!"
Love,
Mom, Dad, Shane and Carly
