Gideon, Gideon, Gideon. I just love this kid so much and he's growing up so fast. It seriously breaks my mommy heart to think he's almost four. It's flown by so fast. Gideon is a spark plug. He makes us all laugh. He is silly and crazy and witty. He loves superheroes and loves to dress up in some kind of superhero outfit EVERY SINGLE DAY. His favorites are Darth Vader, Batman, Superman, and Captain America. He loves Legos and building things. He is becoming quite an artist. He loves to sit with Jasper in the afternoons and do "homework". Gideon is my little snuggle bug. He loves to give kisses and hugs and talk to the baby in my belly. He's going to make a wonderful big brother. He is so much fun to be around. He's a good friend - sometimes he needs reminders about what being a good friend means, but he has a very kind heart. He also likes to challenge me and to test limits. Gideon has a mind of his own and has strong opinions about what he wants to do. He's particular about socks, shoes, shirt sleeves, and the length of his pants. He brings out the fun, rambunctious, wrestling side in Jasper, which I think is healthy and fun for the two of them. Gideon's best friend in the whole world is his big brother :)
Gideon is going to be four on Christmas Eve. Sometimes I wish time could just stand still for a bit. As excited and elated and ready I am for our new little baby to arrive, I have SO enjoyed this fall with Gideon. We've had time to bond and talk every day while Jasper is at Kindergarten. I've gotten to know him as an individual kid, which is really special. It's going to all change pretty quick, and change is good :) I think he will adjust beautifully, but I will miss the quiet, simple moments he and I have been able to share these past few months.
Okay, here are a few pictures from the past month:
