You just wait until you have kids of your own!

Everybody's parents always used the threat/promise that you would feel the wrath of you when you had kids of your own. I was a very moody child and even moodier teenager--this should be no surprise since I'm still quite moody! I only ate from a very limited menu--mostly cereal. I loved animals and they controlled my life; I wouldn't do anything willingly if my dog couldn't go, too. I was and still am very stubborn! I wouldn't change or learn something new until I was good and ready, planned it all out in my head, and felt comfortable with it before I really had to do it.

Well, Gage is exactly like me!! He is very moody and you have to leave him alone until he has cried/screamed it out and is ready to talk to you and give you a hug. I know this because I am the same way. Leave us alone, just walk away and we will come talk to you when we are good and ready. If you come to us before this, you will regret it and hear us scream and yell things at you!!

He only eats from a limited menu--peanut butter/jelly, mac n cheese, toast, poptarts, fruit bars, grilled cheese, and pizza. If he could just live off poptarts and pb and j's, he would be quite content. He will just drink something or snack on goldfish or candy if he doesn't get served what he really wants. I lived off of cereal for most of my life. The occasional pb and j, grilled cheese, and pizza snuck through, but I would not budge from my menu. I would rather starve myself than eat something I did not want to eat--my mom knew this and let me eat cereal.

Gage loves animals and wants to pet all cats and dogs he comes across. He loves his "white kitty" and they are so cute together. He loves playing with his dogs--they are like his siblings--he even tattles on them quite often. He loves to go to the zoo, aquarium, pet store, and any where else he can see any type of animal.

Gage loves to learn and read as much as I do!! He is loving going to school and can't wait to learn more! However, he likes to learn when he is good and ready. He has to have it all planned out in his head and feel confident that he will get it perfect when he does it in front of people...or he likes to goof off and make you laugh. But he's so smart!!

Gage is incredible and I am thankful for him every second of every day!! It's incredible to watch him grow into his own little personality and being. When he has a tantrum, I just sit back and smile because it is truly like watching a little version of me! This makes me so happy because I never though I would be able to have a child, but I did get blessed with one and he's amazing and wonderful in every way possible!!
So blessed to be able to watch him continue to grow and learn.
