I finally figured out how to make Gabe play with his toys.
You see....our child would prefer to play with everything BUT his huge collection of toys that are sooo fun and do every cool thing possible. His normal day of play consist of these items:
1-Balmex (this morning he figured out how to open it, lick it, and eat it..yum)
2-The forbidden silverware drawer that has got a dowel rod stuck down through the handles..BUT he of course has figured out how to pull all 5 at the same time..smart monkey)
3-an old hair dryer that mommy has duct taped the plug part
4-The forbidden fireplace utensils behind the couch
5- The forbidden CDs, books, DVDS, on the shelves
6- The top of the kitchen table to pour salt & pepper everywhere
7- Any of Ellie's items: burp rags, pacifier, etc
8- Open computer armoire and pull items out
9- Our shoes....he's obcessed (sp?)
10- The pantry cupboard, canned goods, etc
Sooooo, you see, this is why most days are spent of endless disciplining, spankings, etc
Today, I figured it out...FINALLY! I took a gate and corraled him in his bedroom where he has 10 million toys to play with that of course, don't usually get played with. Guess what!??!?! He played in there very happily this morning for almost an hour! Whay am I soooo slow to figure some things out??? I got so much accomplished it was scary.
Ps. The weather is beautiful here today....in the 50s!!!....only 1 wk from tomorrow is spring!!!
Enjoy it while you can....Love n Hugs...Laura

I understand. Kinley has toys all over the house, but instead he likes to empty his dresser drawers, kitchen drawers, and our dresser drawers. he is also obsessed with our shoes, which I have tried to baracade. Glad you figured our how to entertain him with his toys for awhile.
