Gabi Reading

I have tried for the last month to get these uploaded. I kept getting errors each time. Luckily, it worked tonight. Our little girl is growing up so fast. This summer she learned to read. And not simple books. She is a great reader...and is only 4! She is a bright little girl!

This is the Dr. Seuss' book 'I Don't Want to be a Bunny." We came home from the library and she read the entire book to me. That is when I realized she really was reading.

This is Gabi reading a book that Rachel and Jason gave Kai for his birthday. It is one of the kids' favorite books.

Gabi started her second year of preschool. We switched her to the neighborhood school because it was more days a week and for longer hours. Plus, it is at the end of our court, so I can just pack the boys in the stroller and we are there within 2 minutes. Thanks to Rachel, I am able to go in about once a month to help out in her class. She has had fun meeting new friends. Here are a couple videos and pictures from the last month.

This was actually the day before school started. The teacher had a day where they come to make crafts and things and meet the teacher. The theme of the classroom this year is the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Here Gabi made her snack...a palm tree out of graham crackers, apples and grapes.

This is their place mat. They got to use water color paints and paint it and then the teacher laminated them, and that is what they use each day for snack time. Cute idea!

Gabi asked me to take this picture. They have a kid sized bathroom. Everything is on their level. How fun for them!

Everyday the kids get to pick two centers that they want to play at. You can bet every day Gabi is at the play house. She loves it!

This is Gabi and her good friend Joseph from church. We also do play groups with him once a week. It was nice that she got to start a new school with a friend.

This was from the first day of school.

Gabi sporting her new glasses for this year. This year we went with plastic frames...maybe they won't get bent up as fast. We will see! I think these ones are adorable on her! She has two pairs, brown and purple.

Gabi's first day of school interview. Turn your head to see it properly. :)

This was Gabi's first homework assignment. They have been talking about disguises. They were to take a pumpkin and make it into something (really just cover it with a disguise). From the start Gabi had been telling me she wanted to do a flower. We forgot about it all weekend and this morning two hours before school mommy found the paper saying it was due today. So, we quickly came up with this. I did the cutting, Gabi did all the glueing, and did a lot of the green stem. It was a fun project for us to do together.

Here is a video of Gabi explaining her project. I can't figure out how to rotate it, so for now tilt your head to the side. :)

I had to sneak a picture of Kai in there. He has been pretty mellow during the day when Gabi is at school. Maybe now he will start talking since Gabi isn't home to talk for him. :)
