Dynamics

I've been trying to teach Gabe the difference between loud and soft so when I ask him to use his "soft voice" he knows what I'm talking about. What this has resulted in so far is him periodically shouting "LOUSSSSE" (loud) or "SSSSOOOFT" as I'm singing or talking. I'm expected to promptly change my dynamic as he shouts these directions.

Here's Gabe basking in the sun, reading. (Just like his mom.)

Someone discovered the Strawberry Fanta.

Gabe's often found like this playing with his cars.

I knew it was a little too quiet as I sorted the laundry.

Nap time didn't go so well today.

A Random Update

While my parents were in town, we took Gabe to the Firehouse Museum in downtown Beaumont. Gabe had a good time "driving" one of the trucks.

Grandma bought Gabe some painting supplies! Thanks to Tamara, a good friend in Michigan, he already had a smock. And thanks to a little dumpster diving with GiGi, we had an easel. The boy's all set for any artistic endeavor he may have has a toddler.

Happy about the Superbowl results.

The outfit Gabe picked out all by himself the other day. Pretty impressive if you as me.
