Baby Gates

Okay I have been threatening for some time that we were going to deploy baby gates to keep Russ from a couple of rooms until he was better trained. We resisted because Sara is old and likes to look out the big window in the front room. But today, Russ engaged in the straw that broke the camel's back.

I took him outside for a business opportunity, which, he partook of, but then 15 minutes later he left me a present. That was it...Sara would have to learn to cope or I will let her in the room alone. I left one of those, don't come home without them messages for my beloved and about 3 hours later, 3 shiny new baby gates arrived at our home.

I put them up after dinner while Russ was playing with Sara, so it took him a while to find them. But when he did, he let everyone know what he thought about the gates, and then he ran back and forth between them trying to find a way into the forbidden rooms.

For those of you keeping score at home--that's one more for me albeit late in the game.
