I don't know why, but is seems that boys are born with all kinds of things "boy" inside of them and they don't even have to be taught about them. For example, Gavin knows that anything stick-like you hit and bang things with, that guns (pretend ones, like his Nerf dart gun-which is pretty sweet) make shooting sounds, and that tools like hammers and screw guns fix stuff. Now the tools he probably learned from Spencer, but other things I just don't know. Anyway, for some time now Gavin has had on OBSESSION with tape measures, he owns several. At any given time you can probably see him with it clipped to his jean pocket. He constantly measures EVERYTHING, and he'll even tell you the measurements like "fifty-nine, two-teen (?), " etc. In fact he is so dramatic about it, that the other day we were having an emergency drill at our neighbors house, and he was in his jammies, well jammies don't have pockets for tape measures? He had a total meltdown because he wanted to clip it to his pocket. Spencer had to actually leave and take him home to put on jeans. Lately, Gavin likes to take apart my vacuum, and he carries the cylinder part around. He takes all the attachments off the top, so that he can attach some of his own, (ie. tape measure, "shoestick" (lipstick).
