It’s the Friends we meet along the way that help us appreciate the journey . . . . .

Brett would like you to meet

some of his Playhouse friends….. They are so AWESOME!!

David’s favorite GiGi’s program was always Kids Club, but this summer he really enjoyed GiGiFIT too! He says the more movement the better😀. (I think both programs are good ones, it’s really hard to pick!) David loves to play baseball and go horseback riding. He also likes to watch baseball and football on tv ( I like to watch that on tv too😀). His favorite food is salami and crackers. David has a feeding tube, so he eats very little by mouth. David does not have a nickname, but when his mom gets mad at him she calls him David Anthony (which is his first and middle names). When he does get called Dave, he corrects everyone and tells them “my name is David” ❤️. David’s favorite part of GiGi’s is the volunteers, he sometimes says “they are my teenagers”! His mom says it is very flattering to the adult volunteers in their 30’s and 40’s to be called teenagers😂. David cracks a lot of jokes with the volunteers, but his mom says he tells a lot of stories (lies), but David thinks he is very funny😀. 

Sam’s favorite program is where everyone plays (he misses Open Play). His favorite toy is Sponge Bob Squishy! Sam loves French fries, he says “yummy”😀 (I love French fries too, they are so good). Sam’s nicknames are Sam, Sammie, and Pickle❤️. Sam likes GiGi’s because he can play with his friends, and he’s right, that is such a fun thing to do at GiGi’s! 

Phoebe’s favorite program is LMNOP😀. Her favorite toy is her light up walker because she is learning how to stand up and will be walking someday soon! She also likes to go on hikes with her mama❤️ (that sounds like fun🤩)  Phoebe’s favorite food is teething crackers because she is teething!  Phoebe’s nickname from her mom is “Bunny” and her nickname from her dad is “little cheese”💕. Phoebe’s favorite thing about GiGi’s is having friends that are just like her! She also likes to play and smile at everyone and learn sign language😀.
