The Gate Keeper


Ty is officially mobile now. He scoots and crawls and wiggles his way around the house. He just started pulling himself up and is always looking for something to wrap his fingers around. Really, anything will do. Just make it a challenge and he's in. Funny how their little personalities emerge long before they can talk and walk, isn't it? So we had to put a gate on the toy room door. It's not so much to keep Ty out as it is to keep Ethan and Drew and their thousands of Legos (a small obsession at our house) in. I just wanted there to be a clearly defined line for where Legos should be and shouldn't be. Have I made myself clear? (not always to a four year old) So lately the gate is Ty's favorite place to be. He crawls over, pulls up and just stands there, drooling all over the place and fantasizing what it will be like to put those little pieces of plastic heaven in his mouth. Gotta love this baby!
