We had Myka and Luca over! Matty loves hanging out with these guys. They played dinosaur and Matty HAD to show them Tor the Tortoise before they went swimming.
He loved it soooo much. The turtles and the wolves were his favorites and he was scared of the tigers although he swore he wasn’t. As for the elephants “they smelled like poopy”. We didn’t get to see every animal, since Matty missed nap time and got grumpy, but it’s okay because we have plans to go again soon! By the time we pulled out of the zoo’s parking lot Matty was knocked out.
I’ve been trying to workout more often these days so we invested in some baby gates to keep Matty out of the bathroom and often times living room (since we don’t have a door to the kitchen just an archway and there’s sooo many shenanigans he can get himself into in there). Today I witnessed this little guy climbing over the gate to use the bathroom. Apparently, he didn’t want to tell anyone he had to go like he’s supposed to. He took it upon himself to be a big boy and do it by himself.
How can I be mad at him for wanting to be independent?
I told him no more climbing because he could hurt himself and that we’d take the bathroom gate off as long as he only went to the bathroom to use the bathroom and not to play with the things in there. Less than 20 minutes later, I caught Matty trying to climb over the living room gate because he wanted to “watch the turtle”. I put him on timeout and what does he do? Sneaks to the living room to play with daddy. When he saw me, he tried to run back to his room.
