Politics According to Gabby

This week Megan, Joie, and Jeran are all at church camps, and with Nate on the farm, our Gabby-girl has become an only child.  To be honest, she prefers a sibling pack.  She misses her brothers and sisters!  (Side note:  Last weekend when her cousins were visiting, she arranged to go home with them for the week so she wouldn't have to be alone "with just my parents.")

We've actually had a lot of fun Mom-Gabby time this week, which to her great displeasure, included running a few errands the other day.  We heard a political news snippet on the radio while driving around and Gabby said, "Mom, you & Dad should go for president. You'd be good at it."  I was a little surprised, but curious, so I had to ask, "What would make us good Presidents?"  And of course her reply made me laugh (because that's just how she is).  She said, "Because you're kind, and nice... And you guys are great bosses!"


That's a compliment...  I think.

Today she is hanging out with a friend, and getting a break from this all-adult world she's been in since Tuesday...which has included swimming, cooking with Mom, movie with Mom, crafts with Mom, hanging out with Dad, and going to her Indian dance class with Dad.  This afternoon we made some of Gabby's favorite food, and tonight we go on a Dad-Mom-Gabby date.  (And she slept in Megan's bed all week because she misses Megan.)  Tomorrow the siblings return.  I think I'll take a nap.  Single-handedly entertaining Gabby is hard work!
