Some things I'd like to run by you guys...
Gabriel is super shy. When I take him to school and the teacher asks him to come over, he does it, but only by taking tiny one inch steps. One right after the other until two minutes later he's traveled like five feet.
He also tells me that he hates school and doesn't want to go. He refuses to do his work for the most part and won't talk to anybody. Except occasionally he'll do something strange like disagree with the teacher about something and be openly defiant. At home he chatters like crazy.
Gabriel doesn't like us to wash or cut his hair. Most of the time doesn't want to sleep on the bed and prefers to sleep on the hard wooden floor intead without covers or pillows.
He doesn't like to use a step stool that has swirley impressions on it because he doesn't want them to get imprinted on his skin because it freaks him out.
He doesn't want to eat any vegetables and he will spit food out if it contains a tiny sliver of carrot or something.
He's very particular about things and can be quite tyrannical. He got upset today because Christine couldn't properly pronounce "carrera" in Spanish because of all the rolling of the "R's" and he kept making her say it over and over, and he would get upset verytime she mispronounced it.
Yeterday he was mad at me because I sang a "Blues Clues" song wrong because I said "Bee dee Beh," when it was actually " Bee dee Baa." Man he was mad!
Do you guys remember me being weird when I was a kid? I'm sure I was but I don't remember ever being shy, but I do remember being a tad antisocial mostly because I thought all the other kids were morons. What do you guys think?
Gabriel seems to be both shy and antisocial, which may not be the best combination.
Christine her brother and sister were all described as shy by teachers when they started school, so maybe he takes after them. (I saw their report cards) They got into Harvard, Princeton and Harvard, so maybe he'll take after them in that way as well. (I hope!)
