One of my favorite pastimes is playing rummy. Mom and I play a lot and I caught on very quickly. Grandma Frances would be so proud! We spent a lot of time soaking up family fun the end of this month before school. I went to a break out room at the library for Mr. Lemoncello's Library. It was a lot of fun, and my group was successful! We went out for ice cream and donuts a few times. I had Ella over for a play date/sleepover, and a play date at her house to meet her new puppies. I also had a play date with Madelyn, and another one with Cami, and yet another play date at Bella's. We did the Kids on Track finale, went roller-skating as a family, went to Lennon's first birthday party, had a movie night in the park watching Moana with Mom (and met up with Brynn, Blake, and Bella by chance!), and went to Miss Valerie's baby shower. I got my hair cut by mommy's new stylist Kaitlyn since Tina has been sick and hurt. I miss Tina, but Miss Kaitlyn is pretty amazing! We had a family day at Bonkers and Subway. We also fit in a few pool times, and got to see Brynn, Blake, and Madelyn there with their summer camps. I went to Washington and visited Papa Ron and Nana Carol. We had races to put puzzles together and played some cards before going to Great Aunt Minnie's picture memorial.
I also spent 4 days at Grandma Kathy's, something I have never done before with Mom tagging along! I had a blast doing a Where's Waldo scavenger hunt through town, seeing a dog show at Purina Farm, and going to a spray park among other things! I got a little homesick at times and wanted to do Facetime with Mommy, Daddy, and Emily a lot. Especially Emily-I missed my sister and she missed me! When I got back (after a McDonald's trip to pick me up), we had Mommy and Aunt Lisa's birthday party at Nana Arden's.
I got my braces this month! It took 4 trips-impressions, spacers, brackets, and expander. The impressions were disgusting and I really didn't like how hard she pushed when she did the bottom one. Then I got the spacers and really freaked out when one came loose because I thought they were going to think I was too irresponsible to have braces. The brackets were a piece of cake and a lot of fun! I chose turquoise and coral bands, of course! I had to get another impression of my top teeth at this appointment too. Then, I got my expander the day before school started. That wasn't as bad as I thought, but it has been hard to relearn how to talk when I can't put my tongue on the roof of my mouth.
I spent 4 days at work with Mommy while she had meetings. I was a big help with other teachers and spent a lot of time reading my new Descendants books. (I am obsessed with Descendants!) One day, I spent the night with Nana Arden and stayed there the next day while Mommy worked. I found out my teacher is Mrs. Mantle! Today was my first day of school and it was great! Mrs. Mantle is the best 3rd grade teacher! It's going to be a great year!
