I do get sad when kids in my class are too chatty, especially when we have a substitute. I don't think it is hard to behave, and I really like being a good role model. Mommy has heard me many times encouraging other kids and checking to make sure they are ok. I think she is kind of proud of me.
I was also tested for the gifted program (although I didn't know what it was for.) I really liked seeing Mrs. Cardetti again (who did lessons with us in kindergarten.) I scored much higher this time and took another, longer test with someone I didn't know. I really liked the puzzles, pictures, and blocks, but some of the words were hard. We should find out in about a month.
I really like playing at recess with Gabe, Dylan, Liam, and Boone. I am on the "boys team" when we play chase and can't wait to go out again.
I went to Girl Scouts a few times this month, and really started to get sad and scared when we left. We walk as a troop from school over to the church and twice in a row, I cried as I passed Mommy. She didn't know why the first time and let me stay. I said I didn't feel well, but I also didn't like how the Brownies and Daisies come together at the end. I was scared because I didn't know the Brownies. The second time, I had to go, but Mommy told me that the older kids were all really nice and she asked them to look out for me. I also really liked the leader who let me walk over with her. She went to Shepard when she was a kid too!
I have had a couple of soccer games too. One of them was against my Shepard friend Mattson! I do a lot of really good hustling to the ball, but get kind of timid when I get there and don't want to kick it. One day was really busy! I did the pumpkin run (1.8 miles on a trail around a lake) with Mommy and Emily, had my soccer game (Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom came to watch), went out to Houlihan's, and had Corinne spend the night! It was so great having Grandma and Grandpa here! The waitress at Houlihan's said that I was the only kid she ever had who talked to her and that I had very good manners. What a great compliment! Corinne and I had fun that night, but she woke me up at 5:00 the next morning and said she could tell time and it was time to get up! I was super crabby and tired that day. I took a 2 hour nap and was still exhausted! We went to Catherine's birthday party later that afternoon.
We didn't have school one day but Mommy still had meetings, so I got to hang out with Nana Arden! We may or may not have gone to Orange Leaf and I may have gotten wedding cake frozen yogurt!
We have been having our play dates too. Mommy had a meeting one night and we skipped one week. I was really sad, but the next week it was at our house. I have also gotten mad at Mommy several times because she doesn't pack candy in my lunch box. I think it's because she doesn't love me, but she says it's because she wants me to eat healthy. Whatever!
Mommy took me to another Mizzou game and it was a lot of fun. I cheered so loud, the cheerleaders gave me a box of free popcorn!
Our class went on a field trip this month. We walked to the fire station across the street for fire prevention week. We read books, listened to firefighters talk about their jobs, and made a fire truck snack that we got to eat!
Our family also went to Mommy's friend Jeanine's wedding. It was my first wedding ever! It was outside on a firetruck in the park. It was really pretty, and I kept waving at the bride. She smiled at me and told me later that it made her day! I didn't want to leave, but it was a Sunday night and I had school the next day. I missed out on the cake!
