The Great Escape

Yesterday I spent most of the day cleaning house in anticipation of Matthew coming home on break. Gabriel was lounging around the house bare bottomed. As I was checking email, I heard the bathroom door close. I got up (since Gabriel goes in there to make poop) and by the time I got there he was holding the door closed with one small hand. When he came out there it was, a small turd laying on my freshly mopped floor! He smiles and says, "Chu-chu" which means "stinky" in Chinese. He ended up finishing up his business (with diaper) later, but that time he cloistered himself in the small closet by the front door. Ah! the little things that bring joy to parenthood.
