You know, I thought I'd written earlier this week. I think my computer caught something...yikes. Hopefully, it's just a glitch in the Matrix.

Gavin has discovered cars and guitars. I got him a guitar a couple of months ago...he can't go anywhere with out it. He even sleeps with it! In the morning, when he wakes up, Jeff and I can hear him tinkering on it...occasionally, he'll try to "sing" a little note. So sweet!

Last summer, we went to a neighborhood yard sale, with about 10 different houses participating. We bought Gavin a toy set from Fisher Price, stuck it on the top shelf of his closet and promptly forgot all about it. I pulled it down a day or so ago, cleaned it up and Gavin plays with it every time he goes in the family room. He makes little "vroom" and "beep beep" sounds with the cars. It so amazes me to see him go from one stage of playing to another. His playing isn't as generic as before, you can actually see him start to pretend. Very cool.

Very much looking forward to our vacation in a couple of weeks. We're heading to my parent's house in Daytona. It's a great house- right on the intercoastal waterway and they have a pool in the back. Another plus, we can take Maggie with us and not have to worry about dropping her off at Jeff's mom's house or anything like that. I'm also looking forward to hanging out on the beach.

It's funny, in Daytona, they allow you to drive on the beach. You can park and everything. Before my first "car/beach" experience, I was a little opposed to the idea. Between the traffic and dirtiest, it didn't seem like a good idea to me. HOWEVER, after our last visit, the convenience of the car so close is FABU! Half of my stuff didn't get covered in sand, I could keep the cooler in the car (thus, the ice didn't melt as fast since it wasn't in the blazing sun) and it was easier to pack up when it was time to go.
