The Koel Times Are A Changin'

Our Gavincito...

Gavin: "Mama?
Mommy: "Yes, Baby..."
Gavin: "I think I love you."

(This has been a recurring comment lately that's been so adorable I had to write it down.)

Gavin: "Guess what? Rabbits real love celery."

Gavin: "In Jesus' name, Amen."

Gavin: "Her had a fever." (I don't really feel like correcting his little her vs. she issue yet. It's just too adorable for right now.)

Recently I went out to dinner with a friend only to find that, atypically for Gavin, he had cried for nearly an hour while I was away, saying things like this to Daddy, "What am-a-gonna do without a mommy?" When I asked him about it the next day he added this heartbreaking comment to the mix, "I thought that you were gonna go be someone else's mommy." Now when I go places, he'll occasionally ask me, "You're gonna come back?" Where do kids get this sad idea that Mommy might not come home again?!

here's what we say at our house when I'm going to be be leaving: "Mommy has to leave, but what does Mommy ALWAYS do???" The kids respond: "COME BACK!!!" It works for us!
