Memories from Today:

I was excited to get a church after I woke up this morning. I got dressed and ready and even wore my Camp Tomahawk shirt. Church was fun, I enjoyed seeing my friends, and I even got to collect the offering.

After church, I suggested that we go to Wendy's for lunch. Mommy didn't complain too much since she could get a frosty to dip her french fries in.

Mommy and I stopped and did a tiny bit of shopping on the way home from lunch. We even stopped by Goodwill where I found a few new toys. Luckily I had my wallet with me and could buy them. I got a new teddy bear, a small kite, and a huge rainbow slinky. I couldn't wait to get home to try on our stairs!

I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening at home. I played with my slinky and surprisingly it would skip a step going down our stairs. Tini was not quite sure what to think about the slinky. I watched a few episodes of my new show and even made up a game for Mommy and I to play. The game involved a life-size game board that I made out of construction paper down the hallway. Each player drew two pieces of construction paper one that had a math problem that had to be solved and the other had the number of spaces you could move forward if you got the problem correct. I added a few twists to the game as Mommy and I played. She thought I was pretty creative for coming up with the game and I thought it was pretty fun, other than the animals moving my papers around as they walked by.

Daddy and I ended the evening playing are video game. Sunday nights are so much nicer when you can stay up a little later when there's no school tomorrow.

Memories from Today:

Spent the morning playing video games with Daddy while Mommy slept in.

After lunch, Mommy and I went to the theater to see Paddington 2.  i decided to take my stuffed Paddington bear with me to see the movie too.  The movie was wonderful!  I liked it even better than the first movie.

The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent relaxing, watching television, eating dinner,  and cuddling with Mommy.  I also played with my pets.

I ended the evening with a shower and bedtime snack.

Memories from Today:

Tired, but happy today was Friday!

Had a great day at school!  We had our awards assembly and I got a certificate for all As and got a sneaker charm for PE class.

After Mrs. Clark dropped me off at Mommy's school at the end of the day, I showed Mommy how I could look at books that were available in my school library on the school website. I'm really excited about the Rainbow Magic books. I also brought up the engineering contest that Mommy had told me about yesterday. I told her that I had a new idea, about using ink pens that would close themselves. I was thinking about clicky ink pens and sometimes how they're left out and the people using them forget to click to close them and the ink runs out/dries up. I had the idea of designing a pen that would close itself after a period of time if it is not used.

Daddy picked me up from Mommy's school since she had to work a basketball game. We ate pizza and hung out at home for the evening. I missed Mommy, but had fun with Daddy.

I'm glad this is a long weekend!

Memories from Today:

Another early morning!  I was so tired when I woke up!  I kept falling back asleep instead of putting on my clothes.  Mommy wasn't to happy with me.

On the way to school, Mommy tried to get me to think like an engineer.  She wants me to think of a problem and to design a solution (draw a picture and write a description). It is part of a contest of some sort.  She thought it was cute that my initial reaction was to design a drone that would record temperature.  She asked me to think of real problems (like at home or school) and gave examples of automatic sinks,  toilets, and lights.  She said I have plenty of time to think about it and need to just stay looking around me for problems.

School was fun and I got to spend time with my friends!  I really wanted to stop by the school playground after school to play with my friend... the weather was actually warm too, but my friend went inside before I could play with her... and Mommy thought it was starting to rain a tiny bit too.

Mommy and I met Daddy at Cici's for dinner. It was delicious!  And I won a squishy ball and a stuffed bear from the games that were there.

We came home and I played a few minutes of video games with Daddy and then we watched my Redbox movie,  The My Little Pony movie I had only seen it at the theater and was exited to see it again.

Note from Mommy... I need to get better at keeping track of the hilarious things that Alyson had been saying... she is so insightful and truly is funny.  I'll try to record or remember better.  😊

Memories from Today:

Had a good day at school today, even got to play at Mommy's school after.  Mommy was amazed how much entertainment that I got from three cardboard boxes.  I used them as hurdles, then as a long jump, then kicked them like a horse, and even head-butted them too (while wearing my antlers/horns).

After a quick grocery shopping trip, we made it home in time to cook and eat spaghetti... yum!

I spent the evening playing with my Shopkins, playing just a few minutes of video games, and watching part of Shrek 2.

Memories from Today:

Woke up and dressed and ready quicker than Mama this morning.  I ended up rushing her!

On the way to school, we heard a siren (sounded like a firetruck) as we headed down the hill to school that was lined both ways with backed-up traffic.  Mommy kept looking in her mirror to see if she could see it.  She said it would not be good if it came down the hill through traffic... I responded, "it would be chaos!"  She giggled a little at my response.

At school, I got a bracelet for signing up for jump rope for heart online.  I still haven't gotten any online donations, but Mommy says she will keep sharing the link to my online page.  I did get an awesome donation from Mrs. Clark, but told Mommy that I hid it in my notebook from my teacher!

After school,  I visited "duck lady" at Mommy's school and then Mommy and I went to Chick-fil-a and played a long time and even drank a milkshake! 

Got home in time to shower and then decided to organize my Shopkins toys with Mommy's help.

Memories from Today:

Woke up in the middle of the night yelling for Mommy or Daddy. I had had a bad dream and was scared. I ended up in bed with Mom the rest of the night.

Morning came very quickly. It seemed extra early since we had school on time.  I wasn't happy with the outfit Mommy had picked out for me, so I had to find something else to wear. Mommy and I have a little bit of frustration with each other this morning, mostly because we were both tired.

School was great! I got recognized as a student of the month and was very proud of myself for that. Mommy thinks it's cute that I got the award for "knowledge."  I also got my report card which was also great. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me!

We got out of school just a little bit earlier than normal today because of some ice. I ended up helping mommy at her school before heading home.

At home, Mommy and I cuddled on the couch and watched the movie Wreck-It Ralph. After dinner, Daddy and I played some more video games. We are making lots of progress on the Harry Potter game.
