I was griping online about how Jacob had destroyed 4 ornaments, well, 3 himself, and I had dropped one trying to keep him away from it. I was getting rather frustrated, feeling like I couldn't turn my back on him for a second. A friend, jokingly, posted a picture of a Christmas tree, surrounded by a baby gate. And I thought to myself, I have that gate. It's sitting on my front porch. I'd tried to sell it for 20$, and to give it away for free to someone else, just to take it away. And it hadn't worked. It was a sign.
It was a sign that I hadn't been able to get rid of that gate.
For now the tree is safe!
And now Jacob can't get to the ornaments. And he gets frustrated. And I laugh at his frustration! HA! I am smarter than a 19 month old!
