He's tricky

Gabe is naughty. There's no question. He climbs walls, he takes things apart, he gets into toilets, he flushes toys down the toilet (this is new), he runs away, he pokes his sister in the eye, he screams...a lot, he spanks his older siblings, he thinks pills are candy, he dumps out everything..cereal, flour, pancake mix, hydrogen peroxide, eggs...so many eggs...he throws things and breaks things, etc, etc...and there's no stopping him. He just does things over and over.

However....

He gives the tightest, longest hugs in the world.

When he sees flowers anywhere he says "Look, Mama! Flowers for you!"

When he sees models in magazines or ads he says "Mama! That girl looks like you!"

He says "I love mine awesome Mom" and then will push my head to the side and kiss my cheek.

He says Thank You and I'm Sorry without prompting and for anything. We went out for ice cream one time and as we were leaving he said to the worker "Thank you for mine yummy ice cream!"

He's obedient. If he tells me what naughty thing he's about to do and I say no, he won't do it. (usually).

And that's how my almost 3 year old stays out of trouble on a regular basis.

He's just too cute for his own good. Plus he likes to sleep in baskets. Everyone say with me now.

AWWWWWW.....
