Gobble, Gobble!

Gavin made his second craft project of the holiday season (if you count Halloween). I traced his hands and feet and we made a turkey together. He did not enjoy this project as much as the Halloween ones. He liked when I traced his hands, but got bored with the coloring, gluing and waiting for Mommy to cut out the pieces. Oh well, it still turned out cute and he was proud!

Empathy

em⋅pa⋅thy

–noun
1. the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.
2. the imaginative ascribing to an object, as a natural object or work of art, feelings or attitudes present in oneself: By means of empathy, a great painting becomes a mirror of the self.


Dear Empathy,

My dear sweet 22 month old son, Gavin, has found you. What a wonderful milestone this is! He can now anticipate what other people are feeling, commiserate, sympathize and is truly starting to understand feelings. It is too bad with the current economic status of our country that some people have lost you. One can only hope that it will change with time...

Yours Truly,
Gavin's Mommy

Dr. Seuss


Gavin is a little obsessed with Dr. Seuss books....especially "Hop on Pop", but he also loves "Mr Brown can Moo can you?" and the "ABC" book. At least he LOVES to read...
Oh and here is another silly ABC singing video for Nana, Papa and Aunt Tiff....
