1st day of school

Gage started his third year at Riverton High Silverpups today! He had a bit of a rough time having to wake up early and get ready, but you do what you got to do.

When he walked through the door at school, he was excited and talking up a storm until we went through the door of the Silverpups...he stood by the door and just had a stunned look on his face! His friends were excited to see him and rushed to say hi, but he told them to stop so he could let it sink in.
Thankfully for both of us, he didn't cry because I would have cried just as hard. But he was sure to make sure he had a good hold of me and that I was going where he was going! He avoided looking at anyone hoping he could just leave.
But once he saw that there was a train and that he was old enough to play in the section of the train, he felt a bit better.

Future Teacher

I have been bringing Gage with me to work a few days out of the week before he starts his time at Riverton Silver Pups!!
He is such a great kid to have and has been great to have around that I won't know how to function at school without him!!
When he sees me pointing at students and telling them to get to work, he goes up to them, points at them, and tells them, "get work!" He will then drive his cars across their desk, talk to them for a bit-like he's teaching them, then walk off!!
He has also gone from pushing the markers off the white board, to taking the covers off and writing on the board. He saw that I was writing on the board, turning around and talking to the students, then writing the board again, then talk to students...so what does my little teacher helper do? He goes and draws a big circle blob on the board, turns around, looks right at a student and talks to him like he is teaching the student!!
Can't I just take him with me every day?! Think of all he would learn!!

Chuck-e Cheese

Gage had the great time of taking his first trip to Chuck-e Cheese for a friend's birthday party. He had the time of his life and wouldn't stop running from game to game, ride to ride!! He wouldn't even stop to take a drink--which is so unlike him because he'd drink all day if he could!! He loved playing the ball rolling game, any pushing buttons game, and going on all the rides.


His first ride was on the big monster truck, he was a little scared at first because it went up and back rather than just drive forward. But once he learned he lived through it unharmed, he went back for more rides!!


He then went in a normal car, but since it only went back and forth and wasn't as exciting, he got out mid-ride!


There was a roller coaster simulator that was a bit frightning at first, but became his favorite part of the whole day!! He even started to do a little AHHH Scream when it started to go down the hills!! Makes me happy because we can go on so many roller coaster rides together in a few years!!


He did like this game where you had to catch the pop corn in the bucket because there were balls flying everywhere and he got to move the bucket all around!! It was a cute game!




Some other rides he enjoyed



Chuck-e Cheese himself made an appearance and Gage thought that was one of the coolest things ever!! He kept following him around, patting on him to get his attention, waving and saying hi, and jumping up and down afterwards because Chuck-e- Cheese said hi back and gave him a high-5!! He seriously followed him around for 15 minutes until he went in the back.
One thing Gage noticed was that Chuck-e Cheese was walking around, but he was also on the stage singing, too! It really puzzled him...true he was wearing different clothes, but how is that possible?!
He enjoyed seeing the characters on stage, too.

We will definetly be heading back there soon!!

Crocodile Hunter

Gage is such an animal lover!! He also loves to share his food with animals! He'll share with the dogs--everything he eats, the cats--tries to make them drink from his cup, his stuffed animals and even his toy cars--gives them a drink or a bite of his food. Well...his latest adventures in animal control is his crocodile!


He has fed it a stuffed monkey, some macaroni and cheese, and...
