Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs

Is it possible I have not blogged about Gabriel and his signs? He's been interested in signs as long as I can remember. He notices EVERY sign when we're driving. He asks if he sees anything missing, broken, bent. He knows the meaning of every sign. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he started producing signs on his own.
I started this post in mid-May. This sign says "Closed" on one side and "Open" on the other.
This one says "Quadrilla Must Stay in Here. this table. Both Boxs"
And this is the tunnel he made with a sign that said "6 and under only" after Carmen knocked down the tunnel. We talked about it and he changed it to "10 and under".
He was quite the tyrant about his sisters obeying the signs, which made Carmen want to go backwards and caused conflict (pretty unusual between them).
(Note the "detuwer" above.)
I can't remember how long this sign has been on the door to the garage, but it's many months. (EXIT onlie.)
And this is one of my favorites:
No! No! No! Do Not Enter. No! Parint only!

It's because the kids kept playing hide and seek and making a disaster area out of the coat closet. They knocked all of the kid coats off of the rack, pulled out the hats and gloves, etc., making it impossible to close and latch the door (which has issues anyway). So I felt forced to make a rule (I hate always making rules) about no hiding in closets. (A similar thing had happened in the nursery closet: clothes off hangers. I have enough trouble being Boss of the Clothes without this kind of daily setback.) So to reinforce the rule, Gabriel decided to make the sign for the door. It's interesting to me that he is so serious about following rules. We asked the kids recently what they wanted to be when they grow up and he wouldn't answer me. "I'm not telling." I'll save my speculation for another post!
Another day the kids decided to play restaurant. First Gabe made a menu, then he made this sign and posted it next to our downstairs bathroom. Note the wheelchairs next to each person.

And finally, the one that still cracks me up:
When someone spilled a drink, instead of going for a paper towel to clean up the liquid, Gabe went straight to the art table to make a sign: "Coshin: wet floor". David admonished, "You could have cleaned it up first!" The next time someone spilled, Gabe got a paper towel, helped clean up, and THEN made a Coshin sign. I don't have the heart to correct his spelling (yet).
