Another One Of Gabe's Funny Quirks

So, if you know Gabe or have been reading this blog religiously, you know that he has some hoarding tendencies.  I'm sure (hoping) that most toddlers share this similar quirk. 

Anyway, we're off to the Cape this weekend, and I decided to make a paper chain for Gabe so that he could conceptualize how far away the trip was.  As paper chains go, we rip off one of the links each morning and count how many days are left.  And then we get excited!!!

Instead of tossing the paper into the trash after the tearing part, my little quirky hoarder likes to hold on to the torn off link most of the day.  They're usually forgotten after a while, but I always smile whenever I see one.  Yesterday, I found one in his car seat.  Today I found one underneath his pillow.  This morning, today's link joined him for breakfast. 

He's a funny little guy!
