let the drama begin

Mom and Dad say that my Phia is less high maintenance than I was when I was her age.

There is hope.

What does that mean Gabers?

It means that there is hope in the world.

Gabers...

You are always telling me what do and I was hoping Phia would lay off.

Gabriel, Phia will do what I say when I say it!
 
See what I mean?

I am not high maintenance Gabers!

Look at my Phia Sis!
 
I'M NOT!

Phia likes boo-boos!

Don't change the subject when we are talking Gabers!

You brought me into the 'House Of Drama' didn't you!?!

Mom's Notes -
No words needed...

new lessons

Sis, Phia is home!

I know, it is so cool!

Did you see how she eats Sis?

She eats from boo-boos.
 
I was going to test it out but Mom said I am not allowed to because I am too big.

We ate from boo-boos when we were little.

I tried to feed Phia from my boo-boos but she refused to get near them.

Think she will eat from mine Gabers?

I don't know, it's worth a try Sis.

I am going to test out her seat for her to make sure it is safe Gabers.

I am going to hold her hand always to make sure she is safe Sis.

Good idea Gabers, I will help you keep her safe!

Mom's notes - Still working on teaching the kids that Sophia is the only Purdy child who eats out of the boo-boo's and that the only boo-boos that do feeding around this house are Mom's.

Meeting Sophia

Gabers did you see my Phia?

I like baby Phia!

She is so cute Gabers!

I love holding her!

She smells good.

She does.

I brought her a baby.

She likes it when I hold her!

She sure is cute!

She sure is!

Mom's notes - A thank you goes out to Grandma Hubert for making scrubs for the Things! The looked amazing visiting their new sister!

outside

After snack we get to go outside Gabers.

Elmo you better finish up!

Gabers, check this out!

What are you suppose to be Sis?

I am a Olive nosed Isabella Puppy!

Time to go outside SIS!

 I wish we could spend all day every day outside.

 ME TOO!

Mom's notes - I could listen to these two talk back and forth forever. It is so great to hear Gabriel's voice and Isabella understands what he is saying almost all of the time.

catch

Catch!

You can do it.

Use both hands.

Good job!

Mom's notes - If you are walking into the Purdy house be ready to have a ball thrown at you! Gabriel's new game is to try to play catch with anyone who is not paying attention to him...

OWIE!!!

Gabers, are you okay?

Owie!

I know, you got blood all over my bedroom.

OWie!

Maybe we shouldn't jump on my bed, huh Gabers.

OWIe!

You did bite your lip pretty good, huh Gabers.

OWIE!

You scared me Gabers!

It hurt a lot Sis!

It sure looked like it hurt a lot!

I don't want to do that ever again!
