I apologize for my absence... sort of. We've been very busy with multiple October happenings. It's a crazy month of pumpkin patches, visitors, festivals and overall busyness. I also have a lot of pictures on my camera that need to be downloaded. Unfortunately, I've been letting my co-workers use my camera at school and I often forget to bring it home. I haven't had a lot of foresight lately.
My work assignments have also shifted which causes me to be off of my home campus once a week. It doesn't seem like much, but I'm only working 4 days a week this year. This has wreaked havoc on my tiny brain already. I'm not the kind of person who can manage such simple chaos. But I'm trying.
Let's see... do I have any funnies to tell on Gabi?
- She got in trouble for running into a friend repeatedly with one of the little cars at school. The teacher scolded her 3 times by saying, "Stop running into your friend with the car Gabi. He doesn't like that." Gabi ignored her. Finally, after the 4th reprimand, Gabi looked at her and said, "It's not a car. It's a truck."
- She told her daddy that he "made a nice project."
- She refers to her girly parts as her "Gi-nut." That one kills me.
- She can spell her name. Gabi, not Gabriella. But still.
- She's consistently using very big words like thermometer, temperature, neighborhood.
- She recently painted her pumpkin all by herself.
- Every time we go into a store now, she points something out for a baby and says, "Oooh, Obo will share it with me?" (Obo=Yobo)
- She can tell you her birthday.
- She loves Sunday School.
- Tonight she told us that she would wait for us in the car while we went to our Sunday School meeting. Really?
- She can recognize letters by whose name it belongs to. For example, any time she sees the letter J, she says, "It's Joseph." All of the letters relate to a friend at school.
We have a lot going on in the next month or so. We have fall festivals, Halloween, and get-togethers this week. GG and Grumps will visit early November. Ed will travel for work. I will travel for a conference and then Thanksgiving will come and go. Whew!! Life is at warp speed these days, isn't it?
