Time out!

Gabe learned to climb into the chair. Then he whined until we figured out that he wanted books. Yes, that is Mommy's reading chair.

We are hoping Gabe loves books like the rest of the family. I am not having many doubts about that.

Gabe got time out at home for the first time Sunday. He has gotten a bad case of the temper tantrums. We have been laughing at his tantrums for the most part since he stomps his feet, screams, and throws himself onto the floor and bangs his head over and over. It doesn't really get him his way, but it does get him attention. It is a little overdramatic, kind of like any Tennessee Williams play.

Gabe sat in time out for five minutes until he could come out and not scream and whine. We realized that we have to step up his discipline because he has fallen in love with a toy at school. He is so in love with said toy, that he pushed a little boy twice his size off of the toy and cries and screams any time any other kid LOOKS at the toy. We are going to get him one for the house, but I have a feeling that it won't be nearly as fun here as it is in daycare.

Our newest trick--jumping!!

Gabe has also added another dimension to "riding horsey".
