Gabriel goes to a brand new school, which was built on the edge of our village just last year. We can walk to school, or in Gabriel's case, he likes to ride his bike to school along the country lane.
Gabriel adores school, and always has. The teachers last year and this say he is incredibly focused and attentive, and wants to excel in everything. He is very concentrated, and does not like to make mistakes. (Haha: I can hear my father now: "Sounds like someone I know.")
He has a best friend, Anaël. They are a riot together. Gabriel is the more mature of the two, so Gabriel sort of looks after him, but they are thick as thieves, and always horsing around. Anaël spends the night here quite often, and Gabriel spends the night at his house, too.
Gabriel also has another friend, and he is spending more and more time with her. Yes, it's a girl! The cutest girl. Lola.
She is two places down from Gabriel, left, in the photo. It is so sweet to see those two playing together, and Lola, as of recent, is coming over more often than Anaël.
