Gabriel reads?!?!

I learned a new expression--it's called "NO WAY". I say this when I have vegetables on my plate, when mommy wants to wash my hair, when daddy tries to tickle me, when my brothers won't let me play with their toys, and when I am asked to make animal noises and don't feel like performing.

On another note--I love my book "Moo Baa Laa Laa Laa" and have memorized almost the whole thing! Generally I let mommy read most of it (I think she enjoys the actual story), but join in for the animal noises as I think I add more excitement than my mom (she negotiates for a living--I perfect animal noises--it all works out).

I still keep talking about my zoo visit from well over a month ago--I just love those animals! But when it comes to animals in my own house, I often find myself yelling "NO" at the top of my lungs. Those darn dogs can be so obtrusive when I am walking around eating a cracker.

You may notice my determination to do everything on my own, and lash out if I am offered help. Clearly I get this from daddy :)
