“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!!
Joshua’s favorite GiGi’s program is LMNOP❤️. He loves books! Joshua’s favorite food is pasta (one of my favorite’s too!) and oatmeal.
Joshua’s friends and family call him Joshy😀. Joshua’s favorite part of GiGi’s “I love that I get to see all my friends with Down syndrome who have an extra Chromosome just like me!”
Dylan’s favorite program at GiGi’s is GiGiFit! Dylan loves Elmo and superheroes. His favorite hobbies include dancing and horseback riding.
Dylan’s favorite food is KitKat…(mom wishes it was something healthier, but….it is what it is). His nickname is Dilly (mom likes to call him Dilly Dill Pickle Face!) Dylan’s favorite thing about GiGi’s is getting to spend time with his friends, (I agree, it is one of my favorite things about GiGi’s also). Dylan’s mom says with every new program comes a new adventure!
Colie’s favorite GiGi program is Dance Mania😀. Colie likes to color. Her favorite foods are calamari and chocolate, (I also like chocolate a lot, good answer)! Her real name is Nicole, Colie is her nickname❤️. Colie’s favorite part of GiGi’s is being around friends!
Adam really likes Dance Mania, but also likes Teentastic! (I agree with Adam that Dance Mania is a fun program, showing off our dance moves!!). Adam has a big collection of nerf guns and he loves having nerf wars with his family! His favorite food is goldfish crackers😀.
Adam doesn’t have a nickname, but his mom says lately he likes to tell people he is a ninja! He really likes GiGi’s because it’s the best place to make friends and to be accepted for who he is❤️.

I love these! Who better to write about friendship than the Mayor of GiGi’s. Love that you are highlighting others. Some I know well and some are new to me. I look forward to meeting everyone when Kaitlyn and you return to our programs inside GiGi’s Playhouse and GiGi’s Studio Cafe! See you soon!
Thank you Stephanie Gage, you are so nice. I can’t wait to see my friends again (missing my Prom Queen Kaitlyn).
