'Head hurt...'

Not too long ago, Gabe discovered that he can elicit sympathy from Jules or I when he is hurt.

So, naturally, he has begun trying to hurt himself intentionally for attention.

It started simply. We would be having dinner and attention would be on Gavin. So Gabe would kick the table with his bare foot and say 'Foot. Hurt.' And stick it out for loving ministrations. Or he would fling his head back and whack it against his chair, again following it up with 'Head. Hurt.' He'd get a kiss on the affected area and he'd tell you 'All better'.

Well, now he's gone bats%!t crazy. Now, when he feels like he isn't getting attention, well, see for yourself. I think he's going to become a 'cutter'. Or a stuntman. Either way, all I can do is laugh...
