All about Gabriel




Just thought I would take a moment and tell you all about what Gabe has been into this past year... I meant to do this around his birthday but mommy is a bit slow and sidetracked these days. Gabriel is just the sweetest most sensitive little man you will ever meet. He is a GREAT big brother. He loves playing with Noah and when they are with others Gabriel is always looking out for his little brother. And if you want to see him get distracted real quick just walk in the room with Abigail. He is constantly trying to get her to smile. Gabe started preschool this year and he has just wowed his teachers with his reading. Over the summer he pretty much taught himself phonics, by using a computer program. School is great and he has lots of buddies. He sometimes gets into trouble for wanting to socialize during learning time, though. And he cracks the bus driver up because he is always the last off of the bus, he has to say goodbye to everyone! He loves superheroes, sometimes I think I would do better to just get rid of all the other toys and just have dress up clothes. His favorite is Captain America. For Christmas he got a bike and he just whizzes around on it. I am looking forward to summer when he can spend more time on it and learn to ride without the training wheels. This year he got brave enough to try out swimming by himself with thelife jacket, and by the end of summer he knew how to tread water. We also tried a team sport with him, Soccer, and he was a little pro at it. My boy is getting to be so big I can't hardly believe that he is already 5 years old.
