Gage's new "big boy"chair...

I think that Gage's smile just about says it all: He LOVES his new "big boy" chair! Thanks, Grandma & Grandpa Mike. Right before nap time and bed time, he likes to sit down in his chair and suck on his binky (Daddy says those days are limited, so live it up now, Buddy!) and place "Yammy" (the little washable lamby that he sleeps with...that I totally hooked him on, and glad I did, by the way, for the upcoming day when he'll need something to console him without his beloved binky) oh-so-carefully on the side of his chair. He may stroke it or re-position him throughout story time, but it is absolutely not OK for anyone else (namely Gavin, but sometimes even Mommy) to touch "Yammy" in that spot. The other hilarious and adorable thing that Gage has been carrying around with him everywhere lately is an ironed beaded craft (Biggy Beads are a big hit in our house lately!) given to him by his big brother. He even wanted to sleep with it last night. He calls it "thing" or "zine" for design. So cute! I keep emphasizing to Gavin how wonderful it was for him to give something so special to his little brother. Isn't it funny (and completely unpredictable sometimes) the things that our kids will get hooked on?!
