Some like it HOT

Some like it HOT but I on the other hand do not like it hot. I don't know how many more of these 90+ degree days I can take, I am definitely a fall/winter kind of girl, now get me a pool in my backyard and I may sing a different tune. Not only has it been insanely hot, Gavin ran a pretty high fever last week. We still don't know exactly what he came down with but we do know that it wasn't Streph so it was most likely a flu bug. It was pretty rough for a while and his temperature actually got to 105 Monday night but all is well and he is thankfully doing much better.
We are all preparing for me to finish my last couple weeks at work and to transition into becoming a full-time student. I must admit that this is very nerve racking for me, I've worked pretty much every day since I graduated from high school so not only am I changing careers I am having a huge lifestyle change but I am so looking forward to this change. It has been a long road to get here but I am going into this with open arms and an open mind about the journey I'm about to embark on.
We have been staying busy with keeping cool and enjoying our family time together. Gavin is doing so well with potty training but still doesn't really ask to use it unless we bring it up, however, the babysitter told me that today he told her that he had to go #2 and she brought him to the bathroom and in a matter of seconds he went in the toilet. He is so proud when he makes people happy and does something good, he is definitely a praise child but that's okay but he's learns quick that way. We seriously worry about him when he is in school though. I have told people that I think we are going to have many calls from school about him goofing around because this child, I kid you not, will repeat what he's doing 20+ times if you laugh at what he's doing. If he finds that he's making you happy and getting laughs out of you, he will repeat it until you no longer laugh... asking him to stop doesn't work. I have to admit that I kind of like that he likes making people happy and he likes being a clown, it keeps things interesting and we have a hard time not laughing with him. His new favorite thing is his Buzz Lightyear backpack, he has to take that thing with him everywhere and it's so cute seeing him wear it. I can definitely wait for the real thing though... he's already growing way too fast.
Anyway, I've rambled enough so here are some more summer pictures.
