Jibran loooveess to throw stuff into the toilet bowl...at first he threw things into the trash can, including the remote, the phone etc..but i moved the trash can into the counter top so he couldn't reach it..and now he throws things into the toilet bowl..yea..and my book became the victim just now. But he knows where things are supposed to be, like yesterday he took off the living room's table edge guard and today he found it in my room, he picked it up and ran off to the living room and tried to put it back to the table..hehe. He gives me a kiss or a smooch whenever i ask for it. I have a good laugh everyday with him, just watching him do his things and acts silly all the time. He is my silly boy..i couldn't ask for a better baby..=)
