10 days of fun!

We just returned from a 10 day jaunt to Florida, to visit with family. During that time, I spent a fair amount of time with Gage. I love that boy!
His curiosity is amazing! We visited the doctor because he has a weight problem. He was asking the doctor questions!
We did a lot of swimming and spent time just enjoying each other.
I was in Florida just 2 months ago and in that short 2 months, his reading skills and math skills have improved so much that I was amazed. He is now sounding out signs in Walmart and other places. To watch him doing that gives me so much enjoyment, knowing that with having his parents and 2 sets of involved grandparents, he is fortunate to have been given a great start in life and a good foundation to build upon.
We love him dearly!
He also enjoys "let's play on the bed, Papa". We wrestle, play ride the bull, and sometimes just talk to each other. I am able to give him, through play, lessons that I hope will carry him through life, to remember his Papa after I am gone.
