Gigi got to play at Aunt Sharon's friend Patrick's house -- loving his house numbers 324 "my numbers!! " 3 for her, 2 for Alex and 4 for Lily. She was excited to make stone soup in the backyard and to shoot hoops on the front porch. It took her awhile to warm up to an old friend/nemesis --- Sharon's cat (via Crissy); Charlie.

She noticed Halloween items at the store and started planning her costume "I want to be a princess - no- a ballerina!" She also asked if we could get out her "punk-mun" purse.

She made a friend at the bus stop. Her new friend was a Brazilian Cincinnati State student. She let him know that she was three, and going to school. "My school is nine thirty. Miss Carmey and Miss Nicholas are my teachers. I will be four (exhibiting confidently her four fingers, my cousin Lily five, and cousin Alex three." He is engaging and pleasantly amused by her conversation.
