Gordon's Birthday

It's been a while since I have had the chance to post, so I have let a couple b-days get by without posting something. Tonight I am going to say a little bit about my 5th child, Gordon. He entered this world on March 25th,2005.

I have been sitting here trying to think of what kind of short description there is to let everyone know him a little better. The best I could do, cheesy as it is, would be "Lion Heart". I am not entirely sure if he is going to be a small boned kid. He has started out that way but he is growing and sometimes surprises us all with his ability to move things. Another impressive thing about this kid is that he is so quick to learn everything. He was quick to talk, walk,potty train, ride without training wheels and is now very articulate in his speech. There isn't even a hint of a southern accent! That may be the one thing that concerns me. lol..... I guess by now we have figured out with those attributes alone that he is very deliberate and focused on progressing his affect on the world. Suffice to say he just can't freakin' wait to level up with the biggest of his siblings.

It is so cool to watch him jump on his little bitty bike and hit the dirt bike trail made by his older brother, Charles, every time Charles gets his dirt bike out. Charles flies out of sight for a second and comes back around followed by a little boy pedaling his heart out with a smile clearly visible from 300 yards. (due to his chipmunk cheeks)The very idea of discouraging him is a non issue. You simply won't. He also has a bit of a temper. Of course, when he is being pissy and screaming, we have to consider buying paint for the walls closest to him. Often times however he is just kinda upset, or even being coy about his feelings. That is when he is really funny. The facial expressions of trying to look mad while also trying to hide the fact that he is insanely happy about something that has made his day. What a precious part of his character that I hope we remember forever.
