Every time I see this kid, I want him to move in with me and be Max's little brother. Maybe its because he is so much like Max or maybe its because I see I lot of my brother in him. But the kid is fabulous. First of all he is adorable! Blond hair, puppy dog eyes and the most knowing smirk you have ever encountered.
When he was a toddler, Gavin wanted nothing to do me with. Probably because I smothered him every chance I got!
This illustrates our initial relationship. I was driving and he was in the back car seat, probably he was 3 years old. I told him I wanted to kiss his entire face. He responded that he would turn into a zombie and eat my brains. But why? He stated because he does not like me. I countered with "Why my brains? If you don't like me my brains would taste bad." He thought about it and after much debate agreed that as a zombie he would eat dog food instead but would scare me whenever I tried to kiss him because he does not like me. I told him I ADORE him and would love him even if he was a zombie. He proceeded to turn into other hideous creatures to try to get me to not love him anymore. Well there just wasn't anything he could bring up to refute my affections. Finally we settled that if I bought him a milkshake he would probably stay a little boy and not attack me, but he still wouldn't give me a kiss.
Since then, our relationship has gotten even better. He is the kind of kid who names his minature hamster Philaroni. He warned me that he has to wear oven mitts when he picks up Philaroni because the hamster bites whenever he squeezes him. Hmmm.
My favorite part of Gavin is that he will just randomly come up to you and cuddle....for no reason at all.
I still kiss his whole face, but now whenever I see him, he runs up to me and gives me a hug. In return I sneak him candy.
Gavin will certainly not be reading my blog but I wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday anyway. Love you!
