Gabby

There's been lots of exciting things going on with Kate getting ready for school and Nate teething and reaching milestones. I don't want Miss Gabby to get lost in the shuffle. She is our quite reserved one, but my what a temper we have.

For the most part she is passive, even when she's defying us. She'd rather ignore your instruction, rather than argue over it. We're finding new challenges with this. We know we can't just let it slide, but it is so much more peaceful if we don't push issues with her. In that light, I try to only demand what is necessary and leave other things to her choice, but she can turn even that into a struggle sometimes. She will simply refuse to make a choice, because I told her to choose.

As she's starting to near her third birthday, Miss Gabby is speaking with an excellent vocabulary with a hint of that cute two year old diction. She is bright and sneaky. A sweet cuddle bug and a spit fire. A little mama and her sister's echo.
