Gideon's birthday

We're starting to plan Gideon's birthday and so I asked Joaquin what we should give him. I thought I'd get an answer similar to what he said my mom should get...and it was similar, but not exactly the same.

Gifts, and presents, and boxes of STARS!

First movie

Joaquin watched his first full length movie last night in which he knew nothing about the character or the story-- The Ant Bully. It was mediocre at best, but Gid gave it 4 stars anyway because of the nice experience we had. He has watched Thomas movies before, but this is the first time we've put something on and he's watched it all the way through without knowing the characters or having several 'preview' runs (i.e. 20 minutes, then 40, then...).

He also started telling me "As I said, ...", which is pretty funny. Here's an example from the weekend:

J: Sailboats are scary
A: Why are sailboats scary?
J: As I said, sailboats are scary because they come to me at night and they scare me
