The last few weeks, Juvy, our wonderful amah (nanny/housekeeper) has been having Gabi do her homework -- in an activity book which she has. Throw in art time, morning jogs, and play time, Gabi certainly gets plenty of stimulation.

With the addition of a $1 water color set, Gabi is becoming more of an artist, finishing several pieces in a single day. Flowers, suns, and mommies are big themes in her current art mode.

She also gets to create entire lands, usually consisting of farm animals or horses, though birds, pirates, and cars may also be involved. Usually these lands are filled with conversations between mommies and babies starting with the word, "pretend." "Pretend this mommy horse is sad" might be a common beginning to Gabi's latest tales.
Tracy's purchase of a nice soft rug from IKEA has also made the play area much more comfortable for many of the adventures that take place on the living room floor.

pretend that horse if filled with a little horror. ohhhhhhhh, that is too cute. they look so so happy. i'm so glad they are doing their morning exercises. perhaps some tai qi would be appropriate?
Laura says, "Hey, Gabi. I want to play with you but I can't because I am in Virginia. I really love you and really miss you. I really want to talk to Reeve, too.Can you say Happy Birthday to Rania for me? My brothers are here. I hope you miss them. I love you!" Laura
