I was feeling particularly lazy the other day when Gavin asked me for some milk. Too tired to get off my dairy air (???) I tried to convince him to just have some water (this he can get from the fridge by himself). He promptly comes to stand in front of me, looks me in the eye, and says, "Mom, don't you want me to grow big and strong?" How can you argue with that?
This particular streak of laziness was going strong that day because later Gavin asked Dallin to read him a story. Dallin wasn't actually being lazy, he was busy with something else. He told Gavin "not right now," to which Gavin responded, "Don't you want me to learn to read better?" Seriously, you can't win an argument like that!

He has got you wrapped around his little pinky!! That is so cute. He is a smart kid!!!
Oh how funny! That's Gav Dog. :) We miss you guys. December is coming someday and hopefully we are coming down. 99% sure unless Colten can't get out of a final that day.
I hate to be negative but I don't respond well when kids say things like that. It might be something innocent like milk but I respond by being more stubborn. What's wrong with me? Stubborn.
just the other day a kid (not my own) said "when it was my brother's birthday my mom let us do whatever we wanted"...(therefore we can do whatever we want cuz it's Lily's birthday, right?) I don't think so. Nice try.
