Today is the first day of the long Labor Day weekend. It means, Zachary has a day off, and he is staying home all the way until Monday.
On the 30th, Adam, Michelle's son, turned 10. They came over yesterday, all of them, except for Alon, for pizza and cake (how healthy, haha). All three boys are so grown up! David and Jacob are turning 13 in March. They are great with Zachary. They play with him very gently, and they give him a lot of attention. It is, however, getting harder for them to actually "play" with Zac, as he now expresses a lot of desire to do everything by himself. For instance, when Zachary sat down inside his yellow Tonka truck and David tried pushing him around the room, Zac confidently declined David's hand and attempted to push himself. He used his feet to make the first push, but, of course, he rolled down the truck and fell on the floor. He immediately got up, and did it all over again. Once again, he say down inside the trick, pushed David's hand away, started moving on his own and fell on the floor. David did not make any more attempts to push Zac around, but Zac didn't even seem to notice it. He was sure they are all playing together.
I must note that Zac loves guests. Well, actually, he loves to be WITH guests. He laughed a lot, and generally behaved very well. He ran back and forth, didn't demand attention and his face was lit up with pleasure and joy.

However, today in the morning, once again he was in a whining mood. In fact, by the time it was time for him to have breakfast, his behavior got so bad that he was crying out loud and even spit up his yogurt, a few times! This really pushed me out of my balance, and it was time for a time out. I carried him to his room and closed the door, explaining him what he did wrong and why he was punished. Of course, he was crying and screaming and calling me until I let him out. After I let him out and calmed him down, once again, I explained him what was wrong in his behavior and brought him back downstairs. I put him in his chair, and he started whining again. I asked him whether he wanted to go back to him room, and he shook his head no. He then ate all his breakfast properly. I praised him, and we moved on with our day.
Gabriel did not sleep last night... again. Something was bothering him, but not his belly. He was screaming like never before, woke up every few minutes and couldn't fall back asleep. He was awake all evening, and all night. He was obviously very tired, but couldn't fall deeply asleep. Today, he is still a bit uncomfortable. He sleeps very well in the stroller, and can stay asleep for up to 2.5 hours. In his sleep, he can produce different sounds and make funny faces, but overall, he stays asleep. He sleeps in the same manner in his crib -- with sounds and funny faces; however, outside, movement of the stroller and fresh air put him back to sleep. At home, he doesn't have either, so he wakes up tp the point where he cannot fall back asleep right away.
