"Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family." -Virginia Satir
Gavin had a Mickey Mouse Party. We went swimming, he got lots of cool presents and then there was the cake. It had blue trim around it so everyone left with blue mouths and lips- some of the kids even had blue chins. :)
Last week, we took Gavin to Disneyland for his birthday. He had so much fun! I think he liked seeing the characters most. We met Mickey, Minnie, and "Chicken Dale" aka Chip and Dale. He loved to rides too. Shelly, Jack, Andrew and my mom came too. Gavin thought it was hilarious that they were in the same hotel as us (we got a suite) and he would not go to sleep! It was so quiet and out of no where Gavin started singing a song he learned at story time called Bubble Gum. But in his sweet little voice he was singing "Buggle Gum Buggle Gum..." Soon the whole room was laughing.
Here we are almost two weeks later and everyday we have the same conversation: "Mommy, guess what" "What Gavin?" "Disneyland!!"
