Our Little "Gidget"

I am so blessed to have Little Gage ("Gidget") for a cousin. He is the most unique child I have ever cared for... ever, and far more work than watching ten kids at the daycare all under the age of four! Though at times I swear he is one of Satan's minions who has come to shorten my life by ten years, he is, at most other times, one of the sweetest kids. His little giggle and smile just melts my heart... usually after he has done something wrong and knows he's going to be punished. He will be 3 in July, but has Downs Syndrome and so is practically a baby yet in many ways. He says "hi", "bye", "momma", "buck" (book), "puppy", and "babba" (juice/bottle/blanket), and pretty much sticks to them. So far he has broken our salt shaker and a little frog ornament my mom has sitting in the front landscaping. There were about ten other near-mishaps. I am posting a lot of pictures so you can see how sweet he is... at least when I'm taking pictures!

I can them "Trouble" and "Double Trouble" - they can each do a lot of damage to the other!

Ahhh... I love these two hours every day!
