Again I was awake early, 6:45a.  Mommy was still sleeping, so I got in Barbara's bed.  She is always awake before I am.  I used her iPad.  I have to wait until December 1st before I can use her phone.  My punishment for throwing her phone was a full month of not using it.  I forget and ask to use it, she never forgets that I can't.

I worked on perfecting my magnet toy trick.  I did it for GGM and GGF and they were impressed.  I'll perform it for everyone at the lake.

Barbara wanted me to go through my flash cards, but I was not interested.  She did not push the subject, but I bet she will try again before the day is over.

Anna Kate comes home today.  Bridget and Chris B drive to town after work tonight.  Lisa, Danny, and Elizabeth fly in today.  Austin and Tim fly in on Wednesday, I think.

I had to wait until 9am to knock on Anthony's door.  Barbara thinks they could be sleeping late since they don't have to get up early.  At 9am Anthony and Alyssa came out to play with me until 10:10am, then I had to go to my scrapbooking class with Barbara.

We had three projects to work on.  We made four scrapbooking pages...

two for Halloween...

two for School, and ...

a Christmas card.  It was simple.  Well, neither Barbara or I knew how to use a sticky glue thing and it wasn't easy, so we were given two faced tape and that worked well.  I would pull off a bit of tape and stick in to the wrong side of the cutout, then I would lay it on the backing page.  Barbara had to re-position some of my cutouts.  On her lunch hour Mommy came to help me.  I was enjoying the work.  I had finished two projects, when Mommy said she had to go back to work, I decided I wanted to go to work with her, which I could not do.  I ran outside and that is when my trouble started.  I refused to go back inside insisting that I was going with Mommy.  Well, Mommy had to leave, so she did.  Of course, Barbara couldn't catch me, so she talked to me telling me there would be consequences if I did not come back inside.  I refused.  We discussed exactly what the consequences would be.  I still refused.  Barbara got our things from the classroom, and got in the car.  I then said I would go with her.

I said I was going to run outside when we got home, but I fell asleep in the car and I didn't have a chance to run outside.  Barbara held my arm until I was safely in my room.  That is where I was going to stay from 1pm until bed time.  The meant no playing with friends, no iPad, and I could not go over to Andy's where I could see Anna Kate, and Bridget.  That was okay with stubborn me.   I was allowed out to go to the bathroom and to eat at the table.  Otherwise I had to stay in my room by myself.  Barbara would not play anything with me except she would read to me and play with my flash cards.  She read Twas the Night Before Christmas, which I really really enjoyed.  And we went through my flash cards.  

I just knew when Mommy got home, she would take me to Andy's.  I was mistaken.  She did give me a bath before she did something I certainly didn't expect.  Barbara thought Mommy should go to Andy's without me.... so she went to Andy's and I cried.  I was reminded that I chose the consequence and maybe next time, I would think before I refused to do as I was told.

I did clean up the mess I had made in my room playing by myself.  Barbara helped finish the job.

I got into Mommy's bed to read to myself and I was almost asleep when I felt a very very loose tooth in my mouth!  I was now wide awake and so excited and nervous. I wanted it to come out tonight and I tried to wiggle it over and over.  It really moves backward and forward and it bled just a tiny bit but it did not come out.

Barbara suggested she get in bed with me and read to me.  I picked out Green Anacondas.  I so enjoy that book.  I have lots of the facts memorized.

It also made me forget about my loose tooth and I fell asleep before 8:30pm.
