This kid is the absolute sweetest kid that you will ever meet. He is so kind and has such a tender heart. He is always trying to make sure that his mom is happy and doesn't have to do too much work. He is always letting Zoe or Noah have what they want even if he has to give up something. Gabe is also a thinker. He is always coming up with plans and ideas or explaining some complicated concept to us. He learns about something and then he is able to apply it to everything else. 

A quick story: Gabe's cousin told him he had "monkey ears". Gabe said, "Well the kids at school say I have elf ears and I think they are right, they look more like elf ears." We asked Gabe if he liked his ears and he said, "Uh...yeah...I couldn't hear without them! In fact I think I hear better than most people because of the way my ears are shaped, they catch the sound." It never even crossed his mind that the kids might be making fun of him. He just doesn't think that way. I hope he can always be so sweet.
