Kid Bits

News the way kids like to tell it... all good, mostly true and, of course, totally earth shattering.

Makenna (9) and her mama went to Auburn University for a gymnastics meet. She was so excited to see Olympic Gold Medalist, Suni Lee compete! It was the best part of the trip!

Emma (9) is getting a new puppy, a French Pointer. He will be joining an old beagle named Maverick.

Tucker & Noah welcomed a new member to their pack. His name is Remi and he is an English Springer Spaniel. He is so so so cute and cuddly. They’re both super excited to have this new sweet puppy in their family.

Kirie (9) absolutely slayed the role of Cruella DeVille in the Jonesborough Repetory Theater’s version of 101 Dalmatians. During half of the shows she got to play the villain and then the other half she was a puppy. It was so cool to be able to play such a bad character. She’s so excited to bring her acting skills back down to Florida this summer. She’ll be performing in Emerald Coast Theater Company’s Jungle Book.

Nash (10) scored his first tournament goal playing soccer. He’s been playing soccer for two years and as a goalkeeper he doesn’t have many opportunities to score but he made it! His soccer team also won the tournament and were named tournament champs.

Pierce and Beck (13) had an amazing FIRST track season with ECMS. They both started pole vaulting in January and both are going to the State Championship near Tampa. Beck also qualified and will compete at state for the triple jump and Pierce for the 4x400 relay! Way to go! Huckleberry (6) has become quite the farmer! He’s grown quite a legitimate patch of potatoes! He’s out there working in his little garden every day. So cute!!

Oakes is almost crawling! He’s so cute and excited to have a little independence. And to also eat grass

Edie (4) hit her first home run in tee ball. She was seriously so proud and such a serious little tee ball player.

Meryn (11) attends Seaside Neighborhood School and tried out for ECMS’ cheer squad and made it! She’s excited for practices every day during the summer and just loves being a cheerleader.

Emma (9) went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming for Spring Break. She was so excited to see snow for the first time! It didn’t snow while she was there but luckily they’d gotten a big snowstorm right before they arrived.

Izzy (14) won an art contest at school for the 8th grade. The contest was called Music In Pictures and they listen to a classical piece of music and create an art piece to match how the music makes them feel. She was awarded a medal and a check! Great job, Izzy. Maggie Lee (14) tried out and made the FHS varsity cheer team! Congrats Maggie Lee on your accomplishment!

Abby (one of Gigi’s Fab Kids own) is graduating from Blountstown High School in Blountstown, Florida. She will spend the summer in Savannah, Georgia with her older sister and then has plans to become a personal trainer while attending college!

Kieran (another one of Gigi’s Fab Kids’ own) is graduating from Science Hill High School in Johnson City, Tennessee. He will attend East Tennessee State University in the fall.

AND NOW ONTO THE LOST TEETH…

Camden lost his first tooth while playing tourist around Baytown during Spring Break. It had been loose for a while and he didn’t even notice that it had fallen out. His mom noticed when he smiled during lunch and luckily they found it on his plate.

Hudson (5) was eating bacon and it just popped right out. It was very, very loose. The tooth fairy came and left her $5. She also left her a note and asked her if she had any other wiggly teeth. Hudson wrote her a note back and said “yes!” The tooth fairy kept the note.

Nash (10) has lost two teeth in the past month! He is single handedly keeping the tooth fairy in business. He pulls them himself and then basically spits them out.

Emilia (9) has finally lost another tooth. After being stagnant without visits from the tooth fairy she was so excited to have her return.

Hayden (6) from Mississippi lost three teeth while on vacation. First she was watching a movie with his mom and she pulled the top teeth. Three days later, he lost a bottom tooth. The tooth fairy found him even though he was on vacation.
