Our Baby Boyer: February 2018

We had a snow day the day after MLK day. We went to Kohl's and Old Navy as a family before doing the volleyball practice and dance at night. Since they start at the same time and Daddy had to be at work one Tuesday night, I went into volleyball practice by myself while Mommy took Emily to dance. I was really nervous, but it gave me confidence to do it in the future. I have had several volleyball games. The pace is picking up a little, although our schedule has changed several times and there are now only two teams to play against each other.
Brynn and I spent the night at Bella's house on a Saturday night. It had been a long time since it had been just the "big kids". It was nice to have some time without Emily being around. Ella also came over for a sleepover one night, and Corinne came over to play then next day. It snowed a little bit and we went outside, but there wasn't much we could do in the snow. It was nice to get outside though! We have had a couple snow days and a late start because of the snow and ice. Another day, I went to my volleyball game, then Bella's birthday party at Paint the Town, and then a sleepover at Ella's. It was a busy afternoon!
One night when Daddy had to work late, we had a girls' night! It was fun watching a movie and eating ice cream, and trying a sleepover in Emily's room. That went bad very quickly when Emily wouldn't stay in her room and kept getting up. I was tired and wanted to go to bed, but she kept me up. I ended up going to my room to sleep while Mommy kept trying to get her to go to sleep. She can be a pest sometimes.
We went over to Nana Arden's to visit her one Sunday after she broke her shoulder. It was hard seeing her just sitting, because she normally plays with us a lot.
Choir has started back up and I am really getting into the choreography. We are doing a 50s theme. I tried out for a part, and I am a grandma with Gabe being the grandpa. I joined the spring Girls on the Run team and I am enjoying it so far. We have some different coaches and I really like them too.
I have had to stay after school while Mommy has meetings or is catching up on work, and even though I don't always want to, I try to help out her or other teachers when I can. I really just like to either sit and read or watch YouTube videos.
I had a Learning Fair at EEE to show off my project in my Celts class. Mommy was able to make it and I was really glad I could show her my Hadrian's Wall that I created. I was really nervous, but I made it through!
My birthday week was busy with Valentine's day to start. We had our parties at school, and Daddy sent me some chocolate covered strawberries. I was so surprised! It was a shame that Mommy had to work on my birthday, so we celebrated on Valentine's day! For my birthday, Mommy and I made almond bark pretzels with sprinkles. I love them and they are so fun to make! I got a volleyball net! I can't wait to set it up and play in the backyard! I had my parent teacher conference on my birthday. I had a very good report and my parents and teachers (Mrs. Mantle and Miss Ferguson-student teacher) were very proud of me. I still need to work on my spelling and multiplication facts, but I am doing great in everything else!
I can't wait to update next month and share about my birthday parties!
