Gideon: Mr. lover of life

Gideon is our most passionate and deliberate child.

He reminds me of the quote from Henry David Thoreau:

"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life..."

He loves animals, little kids and school.

If there is an game or activity, Gideon wants to be the best at it. He's all in. If he loses, he's heartbroken. If he wins, he's elated.
