This time it is about Gabby going to a real school. The preschool started last Wednesday. Her new teacher is Mrs. Barchus. Gabby needs to wear school uniforms. She looks really cute in them. She has a school bag which is sent home on Fridays. She is adorable when carrying her school bag on her back.
She likes to sing the songs she learned from school. The following is one she sings in these days.
“My God is so great,
He is so strong and so mighty and
There's nothing he cannot do - for you.”
She likes to hold a book and pretends it is Bible.
“What is this? It is Bible! Say Bible!”
“God gave us Bible!”
One day she took a book and read very carefully:
“… heavens and earth ….”
Mommy told her the right way to say it is:
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
Isn't it wonderful to hear Gabby reciting a bible verse?
[Psalm 8:2] From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise.

Happy Tears
Last Friday night on the way back home from the church Rebecca sang:
“If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands.
If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands.
……
If you are sad and you know it, cry it out.
If you are sad and you know it, cry it out.
……”
Gabby sang after Rebecca:
“If you are happy and you know it, cry it out.
If you are happy and you know it, cry it out.
……”
Mommy (laughing): Why do you cry when you are happy?
Rebecca (laughing): She is having happy tears.
“If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands.
If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands.
……
If you are sad and you know it, cry it out.
If you are sad and you know it, cry it out.
……”
Gabby sang after Rebecca:
“If you are happy and you know it, cry it out.
If you are happy and you know it, cry it out.
……”
Mommy (laughing): Why do you cry when you are happy?
Rebecca (laughing): She is having happy tears.

The Stinky Bomb Queen
Everyone has digestive gases to expel from their body sometimes. Rebecca calls these gases “stinky bombs.” When she says “a stinky bomb is activated,” it means she just expels some digestive gases from her body.
Rebecca: A stinky bomb is just activated!
Mommy laughs and starts to hold her breath.
Rebecca (laughing): It’s a false alarm.
With more and more “false alarms,” Mommy now has to ask if it is false or real when Rebecca announces one. Mommy says Rebecca could be called “the stinky bomb factory,” but Rebecca says she is “the stinky bomb queen.”
One day when the "queen" was taking bath in the bathtub she found out she could make the sound of a “stinky bomb” by putting her hand in her armpit and then using her arm to hit her hand. “Bu Bu Bu” was the sound she made. She was very happy about that and called Mommy to come over and watch. Mommy remembered that her two brothers used to do that when they were little boys. All the kids like to do this little funny thing!
“Ha ha ha!" laughed Mommy and Rebecca.
When a “stinky bomb is activated,” it brings a lot of laughing.

Polar Ice
This Summer Rebecca and Gabby have enjoyed ice skating at Polar Ice on Saturdays. Gabby’s class is at 10:35 am, and Rebecca’s at 11:10 am. After their classes, they eat lunch at the food shop located inside Polar Ice while waiting for the public session to start at 12:30 pm. At the public session, Daddy, Mommy, Rebecca and Gabby all go to skate.
The person who has made the greatest progress is Rebecca. She learned how to skate on her first lesson and has made continuous progress. She started at Basics One, and now she is working on Basics Four.
Gabby has made the second greatest progress. On the first lesson she didn’t want to go onto the ice. In the next a few weeks she took "Parent and Me" (sometimes "Sister and Me"). After four lessons with a parent, she can skate all by herself! Now she loves to skate.
Mommy is the third person who has made great progress. On the first day she was afraid of ice skating like Gabby. And now she can skate! She learned all by herself during the public session.
Have Daddy made any progress? Only Daddy knows the answer. Rebecca said, “Daddy was a good skater already. So he doesn’t need to make any progress.” Mommy said he was on the top of the mountain ahead of them and was waiting for them to catch up with him.
They will continue to skate at Polar Ice, especially Rebecca who wants to be professional in figure skating.
