Now on to my bullet pointed life:
- Marathon training has begun! I ran my first "long run" of 8 miles on Saturday morning. Ugh. Seriously my weather app said 4 degrees feels like 0, and I went out at 6:15 am. By the time I got home I literally was almost in tears because I couldn't feel my fingers (yes I wore gloves) but my thumb and pinky were so numb and throbbing. Who knew two little fingers could make the last mile of your run agonizing.
- We had an AMAZING Christmas. We had a little family Christmas in our home and then went to Laura and Jeremy's. We had REALLLY yummy creme brulee french toast with champagne, and opened our gifts on Christmas morning. Mr Gavey scored big time with 200 wooden Thomas Tracks, Cranky the Crane, and over 40 of the wooden thomas and friends cars. It was a great idea in theory but now they take up my whole living room floor. Can we just hurry and get the basement done so we can turn that into the Island of Sodor?! I'm excited because we decided that we're going to collect as much of the Wooden Thomas cars, accessories, etc that we can and then pack it up so Gavin can hand it down to his kids when he gets older. Now that is planning ahead. Plus I think Bryan and I like building and playing with these as much as he does!!
- Gavey is a chattey Gavey. I LOVE it. It's crazy. He's like a little person!! How did that happen?! My fav little new Gavey tricks are:
- Every morning when we come down the stairs, he looks at me and says, "Did you sleep good Mommy?"
- He still calls Water Fresha and I hope he never stops! Ha
- He needs "Cubes" in his water every time he drinks his water. If he doesn't have cubes, get out of Mr. Temper pants way
- He loves to ride on the roof of his Crazy Coupe. If he drives it he goes backwards. Not forwards.
- He loves being chased! "Catch me momma!!!!" which is fun until we're out in public and chasing is the last thing I want to do
- He is OBSESSED with cars. We literally watch it every day. We bought an ipad thinking we would use it for educational Gavey things. Nope. It's literally just a portable TV so he can watch Cars wherever we go. Ahhh. We're the worst.
- He has to sleep with Momo, blankey, woof woof, McQueen, Fresha, and his pillow. Carrying him up to bed and back down again is getting to be a bit rediculous.
- His favorite thing ever is when we pull in the drive way, he yells STOP! then Go! then Stop! then Go! and everytime I have to either stop or go. I swear our neighbors must think we're crazy or that I'm driving a stick shift and have no idea what I'm doing. He laughs the whole time so it's worth all the crazy stories they must think of us! :)
- He has entered the terrible 2's. Big time. My gram said she has never met a child who is so stubbor and strong willed. Awesome. Thanks Gav. We have def noticed. Speaking of which I need to read Love and Logic which a friend suggested. Mental note.
- Bryan tore his Achillies tendon a few months ago and the poor guy is still in a boot and can't drive. We're hoping that Feb 14th when he goes back to the surgeon he is cleared to kick that boot to the curb!!! PLEASE!
