"I love you"

I just love it when Gavin says "I love you!" We are not always allowed to say it back. Sometimes if I say "I love you too" he'll say "No you don't." Ok, fine, I guess I don't. He sure tells us a lot how much he loves us. I'd like to think that it's because he is just copying what we have been doing for the last 3 years. Anyway, he seems to love lots of other things too... He regularly tells Sweatshirt Bear how much he loves him. That's good. As we were walking out the door from preschool on Friday, he said to the teacher, "Bye. I love you!" She was very touched and said it back. She has told me how Gavin reminds her of her youngest when he was little, so occasionally I can see her get a little choked up when she looks at him. I hope he didn't make her cry!

Just a few minutes ago I pointed out that there were slugs on the sliding glass door. Gavin had a good time tapping the door and wondering why they were moving so slow. I took a couple of pictures for you to enjoy, but can you guess where this is going? Gavin asked where the slugs were going and I said they were going home. He said to them, "Bye slugs. I love you. I'll miss you!" Nice.
