Moving Up

Gavin has moved up to a toddler bed.  During the boys' snowday, Matt and I were a  bit bored and looking for something to do.  We decided to bring up the toddler bed from the basement.  When Gavin saw his new bed in his room he was very excited.  When Robert saw it, he thought, "Oh, great, now we'll be putting him back into bed 10 tens a night".  It's worked out alright, though.  Gavin ended up getting sick later that day, with a very high fever.  He whimpered all night.  I ended up sleeping on the floor next to him in order to hold his hand.  Notice the 'jayhawk pillow pet' next to his bed.  Gavin had a 103-104 degree fever for three days.  The fever finally broke but he was still sick another 7 days, including Christmas.  In fact, on Christmas morning, Adam and Matt were itching to start opening presents.  I told them we had to wait for Gavin.  At 8:30 I told them I would wake Gavin up.  I went in his room and told him Santa had come and left him some presents.  He was not interested.  He told me, "I'm still sleeping."  We left him and let Adam and Matt start opening their presents.  Gavin finally came out of his room around 9:15. 

       

Gavin likes to sleep with "his animals", especially his 'bear bear', 'baby bear', 'monkey' and 'surprise (a koala bear) and any others he puts in bed.  He also likes to have lots of blankets on him, usually 4-5.  He loves to be bundled up and cozy.  Also, notice his messy hair.  He has got the craziest hair.  He was born with crazy hair.  Every morning I look at his crazy, messy hair and think he's just like his Uncle Owen.
