Today was the Kindergarten Roundup, which is the event where parents take their five-year-old children to school to sign up for next years kindergarten class.   Mommy took me to Metzler Elementary.  There were about a hundred parents there with their little kids.  We met in the cafeteria.  While the parents did paperwork, all of us kids went to the kindergarten classes to do paperwork.  I colored and wrote my name.  I am a very neat color-er and I do a good job with writing my name.  Mommy was given a big packet full of information.

The current kindergarten children came into the cafeteria and sang four songs for us.  It made me excited to get into a class and start being a kindergartner.  I saw Dustin, who is the son of my baseball coach.  I hope he is in my class.

School starts August 24th.  I go meet my teacher on the Friday before that.  I will be given an ID number that will be my number all my years in Klein Independent School district.  I need to memorize that number.  That won't be hard for me.  I am good with numbers.  I will ride the bus.  That will be fun.

Mommy took me to School In the Pines and then she drove on to work.  Most of my classmates went to a Kindergarten Roundup today, so the kids all arrived at different times.   It will be sad leaving my school and my friends, but I am excited to start this new adventure.

Barbara is sick, some stomach bug, which causes, low fever, aches, and chills. 

So Grandma is helping GGM and GGF take care of Anna Kate today and she also came to pick me up from school.  I recorded Barbara a message, using Grandma's phone, telling her to get better soon.   I did go upstairs to see Barbara in her bed.  She could see I was very concerned about her not feeling well.  She wanted to know about the roundup and about my sunburn.  My sunburn is getting better and I feel okay.  Barbara would feel better, then feel worse, then better, then worse.  Hope this bug runs its course soon. 

The house was very quiet.  I guess I was quiet because I knew Barbara was resting, and I couldn't ask Grandma to do any active playing because she is still recovering from knee surgery.  The only loud person was Anna Kate.  She often squeals loudly with delight.

The house was so quiet, I fell asleep.

I probably took an hour nap, which I don't do often, maybe once a month.  Around 4pm Grandma put Anna Kate and me in her car.  She was meeting Andy to give him AK and she was taking me to my mom's office.

I was very glad to go to Mommy's office.  I took some colors and small coloring book so I would have something to do while Mommy worked.

Mommy will have to go into work early in the morning to make up the time she took off to take me to Kindergarten Round-up, so she took me to Mimz home tonight.

My rash has gotten worse, it is all over my body and it is now starting to itch.  Mimz gave me Benedryl to help the itching.  This is the worst rash I have every had and it looks worse in person than it does in these pictures.

Before bed I said I was starving, so I had a bowl of cereal.  I then told Mimz my throat hurts when I swallow.  That made Mimz think I might have strep throat and maybe the rash is Scarlet Fever.  She talked to my parents and told them she was going to get a doctor's appointment ASAP.

Mimz let me sleep in her bed, so she could watch me during the night.  I was quickly asleep but I was restless.  I even scratched in my sleep and I did some coughing.  At 3a Mimz moved to the sofa, so she could get some rest.
