MRS GIGI

GUS GOT A NEW BOY IN HIS CLASS THIS WEEK. HE WAS SO EXCITED BECAUSE ONE OF THE THREE BOYS IN THE CLASS HAD MOVED THE WEEK BEFORE. I HAVE TO BRAG A LITTLE BECAUSE THEY SAID WHEN THE NEW BOY WALKED IN TO THE CLASSROOM, GUS STOOD UP AND WENT OVER AND SHOOK HIS HAND AND INTRODUCED HIMSELF WITHOUT BEING ASKED. THEY SAID HE WAS VERY NICE AND POLITE. ANYWAY, THE BOY HAPPENED TO HAVE MOVED FROM TEXHOMA AND WAS IN REGINA'S KINDERGARTEN CLASS THERE. I TOLD GUS TO ASK HIM ABOUT MRS GAILLARD AND TELL HIM THAT SHE WAS HIS AUNT. I ASKED IF HE HAD GIGI (REGINA) AT SCHOOL, WHAT HE WOULD CALL HER. HIS ANSWER WAS "MRS GIGI." I DON'T THINK THE NEW BOY WILL KNOW HER BY THAT NAME.

SAGE HAS BEEN SO SWEET LATELY AND HAS BEEN TALKING LIKE AN ADULT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE PICKS UP ON ALL OF THESE WORDS, BUT HER VOCABULARY HAS GROWN SO MUCH AND SHE IS USING THE WORDS CORRECTLY MOST OF THE TIME. YESTERDAY SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS FIXING TO HAVE A BIRTHDAY, AND THAT SHE WOULD BE TURNING SIXTY-ONE. SHE WAS A LITTLE OFF ON THAT ONE.
