Our gracious neighbor brought Gentry the "Gator" and small 4-wheeler that her son had outgrown. Needless to say, Gentry was completely ecstatic! He's ridden both toys until the batteries are completely dead. I'm glad we have the extra room that he can ride on.

As Gentry gets older he is learning to express his own personality (that's putting it EXTREMELY liberally). Basically, he's throwing temper tantrums and Josh and I are just trying to figure out what to do. What I think is most interesting though, is that through the entire time that he has been the worst at home, the ladies that keep him during the day always tell me what an angel he is. "If every child acted like Gentry we'd have it made," they would tell me in the afternoons. (Personally, I was starting to think they had inhaled too many markers. . . )

THEN IT HAPPENED - yesterday I arrive to pick up Gentry to a frazzled looking daycare operator who was glad to see me. I find out that my "little angel" not only bit 2 children but he also kicked and hit a little girl (the point needs to be made here that this particular little girl has a history of biting Gentry and other children). He had been punished and had not responded to any discipline all day, and had basically just given all the workers fits . . . ALL DAY.

Part of my sadistic personality was proud that they knew I wasn't lying, and then I also felt EXTREMELY sorry for them. I know what it's like when Gentry gets in his moods and I can't image what it was like having to protect other kids from this normally docile child.

Most importantly we (the adults) are learning how to deal with Gentry's personality. Any suggestions at this point are welcome ;)
