Gabi has had a few rough spots adjusting to the many changes in her life. She is reluctant to go to school on several mornings. Of course, in her own Gabi way she is still cracking us up with her 5 year old reasoning.
- Gram was driving her to school the other day as Gabi was complaining about having to go. So Gram started to explain to her that some kids couldn't even go to school. That she was very lucky she didn't have to work on her family farm all day. Gabi replied without missing a beat- How about you let me stay home if I pick your tomatoes for you?
- Gabi had been riding the bus two days a week from my friend Mary's house. She recently decided that she doesn't want to ride it anymore. Her reason: "because the bus driver has dirty hair". Ugh!
- According to her teacher, she does very well in the classroom. Once Gram leaves the tears dry up. She described Gabi as the "social butterfly, flitting happily about all day". She also said that they are working on when it is appropriate to talk. (Aren't we all? Lol- needless to say, this was the MAIN complaint on ALL of my Elementary School report cards)
Like Mother, Like Daughter. :)

Peri is having a tough time on the bus. She is sitting with a boy that is being difficult. She also misses all of the Pre K kids. She said she saw Gabi and Teagan in the lunch room!! She was very excited about it and couldn't wait to tell me!! We will have to get together soon!! Miss you guys! Very sorry to hear about your Mom!! It can be so scary!! I am so glad she is feeling better!!! Gwen
I had to laugh about the chatty part.. there is no lack of communication skills in my family either---(Generally speaking.. she is generally speaking!) Haha
GWEN!! Yayyyy you stepped out of the shadows of lurk-er-ism. Yipppeee! We really miss Peri and Pre-K too. Gabi was equally excited to tell me that she had seen Peri. How funny our girls are. Wish they were still together.
Thanks, Paulette- you made me laugh. :)
I'd say talking in class is the number one issue. Although it may drive the teacher crazy, it's a great life skill and will serve her well one day. Hold on to that thought! LOL!
