Where's my string?

A few Sunday's back we were on our way down the stairs to get into the car for church when Gavin said to Garrett " Daddy you got your string"? "Where is my string like yours and Tyler's"?

So as I am racing down the stairs I see Garrett and Gavin making their way back up and into our closet. They then proceeded to tie one of Garrett's ties on my sweet boy. He stood so patiently for his "string" to be fitted " just so"!

Gavin was so excited to be like his daddy and have a string of his own. He wore it proudly throughout church and afterwards as well. For those of you who don't know Gavin, he refuses to wear pants right now and every Sunday its a battle to get him to wear Church attire. So he asks his daddy what he is going to be wearing and as Garrett explains to him that he will be wearing pants, a shirt/ sweater Gavin is quick to then agree to wear pants (because his daddy is). From a mother's stand point it is such a neat thing to experience the bond between father and son. Something as simple as having a tie on like his Dad is a tender moment to witness.

Like Father, Like Son.
