Mild Mannered Alter Ego

The package that had Saedi’s birthday present from Grandma, also had some little goodies for everyone else. Gavin’s goody was a new accessory – he loves it, he wears it nearly everywhere.

“Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound”
 

 It’s actually double-sided with Batman on the other side (which he switches to in the afternoon “because it’s dark at night so I have to wear the black side at night”).

Occasionally he lets Solvei or Nels play with it too; they get so excited.  When Solvei is allowed to wear it she attempts to run by stomping around the house as fast as she can and says “Ly! Ly! Mommy lying!” (Ly=Fly in Solvei speak).

Fast as lightning!

Gavin loves to run. As I’ve mentioned he runs almost everyday, to and from the bus stop. He constantly runs around and wants us to see how fast he is, as if we haven’t seen it a million times already. Because of all of this running and too many injury close-calls, we have a “No running in the house” rule. Today I had this conversation with Gavin after he goes running past me.

Me – “No running in the house!”
Gavin – “I wasn’t.”
Me – “Yes you were, I saw you.”
Gavin – “I wasn’t running, I was jogging.”
