I can't believe summer is almost over! I will be going to real kindergarten next week. I have been really excited, but after Back to School Night, I am starting to get a little nervous. I have Mrs. Sicht, the same teacher I had for summer school. I really like her, and I think I will learn a lot from her this year.
My tooth is really getting wiggly! The race is on to see if I will lose this tooth or if Emily gets a tooth first!
We have done a lot of fun things this month with family and friends. Check out this list:
- We went swimming at the ARC a couple of times,
- went to Family Fun Fest downtown,
- went to the zoo (which was awesome-I loved the butterflies and the elephants!),
- had a family get together at our house,
- I spent the night at Nana Arden's new house a couple of times,
- went clothes shopping for school,
- watched Anthony play baseball,
- we went to a party at Miss Annie and Mr. Kenny's,
- met up with Mommy's counselor friends for a meeting,
- had a preschool reunion,
- had Emily's baptism,
- went the library a couple of times and then walked to the grocery store,
- made ooblick,
- went to Kirksville to visit Stacey, Jaxson, and Harrison and saw Truman,
- had a North Callaway administration party (I met a friend who is exactly one year younger than me and we had a blast together!)
- had a North Callaway party at our house, and
- visited Lillian and Grayson.
Whew! That is a lot for one month!
I have said quite a few things that have cracked people up. When talking about strangers, I said "If a stranger grabbed me, I would yell and then PANIC!" When we were at the zoo, I asked Mommy how baby zebras ate. She said they drink milk from their mommies like Emily does. I replied, "Except they don't wear bras!" When Mommy messed up a recipe, I said, "I guess there are worse things in life!" After I tooted, I said that I "floated an air biscuit." Finally, on a particularly trying day, I told Mommy, "I hate you and I want to find a new mom."
Other than that, I have really been a huge helper with Mommy and Emily. (Daddy went back to work.) I love to get things that they need and entertain Emily. I also like to organize Emily's toys and help clean the house. Mommy is going to miss me when I go to kindergarten next week.
