Gavin's "Career Parade"

Gavin's Kindergarten had a "Career Parade" yesterday. Our Gavin dressed up like a fast jet pilot. Most know of Gavin's obsession with airplanes. Gavin has been into airplanes from the time he was about 18 months old. Even when he was just a little toddler his eyes would light up if he would see an airplane in the sky. So many times we would been sitting in our house and little Gavin would stop playing, I then would realize he hears an airplane outside...so we would take off running out the door to spot the aircraft, if we failed to find it there was serious consequences (by way of a tantrum). We would take Gavin to Airplane museums and he LOVED it (his favorite Smithsonian is obviously the Air and Space), he would sit and watch old airplane documentaries and be so content. One thing Gavin really, really loved doing (and still does) was playing an airplane simulator on the computer. So it just made sense that Gavin wanted to do a "Top Gun" shout out during the Kindergarten "Career Parade".

A blast from our airplane loving Gavin's past.

Gavin was 1 1/2 years old here. He was having a blast flying the airplane simulator with Grandpa. But when it was Calee's turn, Gavin got MAD!!! Gavin has always been a smart one he called out for his Grandpa (he knows he can usually get what he wants from Grandpa), then he voiced what he really wanted, "I want airplane". You can just see his passion for airplanes, even at such a young age!

He looks perfect, Mr Top Gun. We are partial to his love of jets and airplanes. Sounds like flying lessons will be on the agenda as soon as he hits the age requirement. What a blast! Nice perks for parents of a pilot too...
