How was your day

I pick Gavin up everyday from school and since I don't get off until 5:30, he is usually starving and cranky on the ride home.  So in order to expand our usual conversation of Gavin screaming "EAT" and me responding, "when we get home" 1,000 times, I have started trying to engage him in conversation.  Which I know will also help his speaking skills but I really do it for the selfish reason #1.  So this is how our conversation goes the first time I ask him a couple of weeks ago and pretty much every day since then.
Me: Gavin, How was your day?  Did you have a good day?
Gavin: No
Me: Really?  What did you do today?  Did you sing any songs?
Gavin: No songs, Mommy
Me: Really?  Well did you color?
Gavin: No color, Mommy
Me: Hmmm, well did you play outside?
Gavin: No outside, Mommy
Me: Well....what did you do today?
Gavin: Bite

And of course I immediately start laughing, so now it has become a game to him.  So now when I ask him how his day was, he immediately responds with "Bite, [insert name of school friend or teacher]" and has a huge grin on his face.  Thankfully during this period I have only gotten one note home about him biting anyone and that was last Thursday when he bit his teacher on the knee because she was the closest person around when he got mad on the playground.  Hopefully he is just teasing me because he knows it makes me laugh and not that he has gotten super stealthy about his biting activities.....Heaven help us!

And then on the other side of the spectrum, we were in the bathroom at Clay's new office Friday night and they had one of those really long light bulbs leaned up against the wall.  Well I didn't notice it and as I was putting everything back in Gavin's diaper bag, I hear this screech of metal against tile and as I turn around, I see him trying to pick it up!  So immediately I tell him "No, No, that will hurt you!" and as soon as I get it out of my mouth he looks up at me with the sweetest little face and says, "Me sobby, Mommy".  I almost broke down right there! And of course I give him big hugs and tell him that is alright and how proud I am of him for saying that!   I guess he learned to say he was sorry at school but we have never heard him say that, in fact I didn't even realize he would understand that so I haven't ever told him to tell me or whoever he has wronged that he is sorry.  Sweetest little boy ever or am I the biggest sucker ever??

And one last thing.  Over the past several weeks, he has started trying to sing little songs.  Most of which I assume he has made up in his head because I can't understand a single thing, but then I have heard him singing the ABC song.  And this weekend, we heard him singing, "God, God, Amen" and after a couple of times I realized that the tune sounded a lot like, "God our Father, God our Father, we give thanks...." And so I asked his teacher about it yesterday and sure enough, they have been singing that song before they eat their lunch everyday! So proud!!
