Everyone Loves Gabe

A few months ago Rachel, Shersti and I started a babysitting swap once a week. Its for two hours and we each take turns hosting it. Turns out the kids enjoy their time together just as much (if not more) than the moms enjoy their little break. Zachary LOVES watching and playing with the big boys, Connor and Gabe. Now that he is sitting up he really feels like he is a part of all the activities. Gabe really seems to enjoy making the little ones laugh, he enjoys being the funny guy around. Last week was no different....Gabe is always fascinated with our garbage can because he just loves to flip the lid on it. Connor is now following Gabe like a little shadow so when Gabe went into the kitchen to play so did Connor. This of course had Zach very upset because his friends left him in the living room, so I helped him into the kitchen to watch all the new activities. Within a minute Gabe started putting on a little show for Connor and Zach, complete with lots of noise and quick movements (like running from one end of the room to the other). The boys LOVED it!
But really how could you not love a kid as entertaining as this?! Gabe we LOVE having you next door! (and your parents and Porter too) :)

That is so great you have so many friends and kids on your block. The swap idea is wonderful. Those 2 hours are so helpful to the mom's I am sure. What a fantastic time for grocery shopping, errands, or even a nap! :O)

Having the boys so close is nice, It's like having brothers for Zach.
Also a great teaching tool for Zack,
it gets him wanting to keep up and do more.
