Gigi working hard on Mother’s Day to prepare for AP tests. AP tests were not in my world as a child. My girls impress me that they have challenged themselves with these AP classes. They have worked hard in these classes and maintained themselves. Renee and Gigi are hopefully that they score three or above. Whatever they score, I am proud of them for the dedication and determination to push themselves. They impress me on a daily basis!
Renee worked on tie-dying t-shirts for her friends. She is giving them t-shirts in honor of her birthday. Renee said “I guess that I just like giving gifts”. What a wonderful lesson she has learned so early. Giving can be rewarding and give to yourself as you give to others.
