Thankful challenge - day 9

Today I am thankful for Gymboree.  For obvious reasons I am thankful that it provides a fun, stimulating environment for Nelia.  It has also been a great way for her to interact with other kids her age and an opportunity for me to meet other moms. In fact we met Lindsey and Hunter in Gymboree class and they have become two of our closest friends!!!  So for that reason, I will always be thankful that Gymboree brought us together.  Nelia loves Hunter (they just recently had their first kiss) and Lindsey is one of the sweetest, most genuine people I know!

There is another reason why I am so very thankful for Gymboree.  My brother and I used to hang out at least two days a week. After he died I knew that I needed to keep myself busy, especially on days that we would normally hang out. Gymboree kept me distracted - it gave me something to look forward to, something to make me smile.  Our Gymboree family. 

Nelia's teacher, Miss Lucinda, is amazing and talented at what she does. Not only does Nelia love her, but I have had the chance to get to know her and she is a great person!
