Meet adorable Abel. Abel just turned 4 years old and is already learning to ride a bike with training wheels! Abel is described as having a gentle personality, and rarely throws tantrums. He obeys the rules of his foster home and is highly cooperative. When he is exploring an unfamiliar environment, he will first observe the safety and surroundings near him. How cute!

Abel asks for hugs and shows his affection towards his caregivers, and enjoys playing with his 6-month-old foster brother. Abel can feed himself with a spoon and will fall asleep without companions. He is currently getting potty trained and learning to expresses his needs when he wants to use the bathroom. Abel especially likes to play with toy cars and balls, and it seems he has a talent for music. His sense of tempo is quite good!

The start of school is always one of my favorite times of year.  I love back to school shopping and I get really excited about school and office supply shopping.  I think it symbolizes- a new season and a fresh start.  And, who doesn't love a brand-new spiral notebook and fresh pencils with new erasers!
