I woke up at 6:30am, happy, and ready to get ready for school.  I asked Barbara to pick out three shirts for me to wear and I would make the final selection.  It has been fun having her here in the mornings to help Mommy and me get ready for work and school.  She fixed my breakfast (left-over kalache and chocolate doughnut) and Mommy's lunch and coffee, while working a Sudoku puzzle with GGF.

I wrote Mrs. Meredith a note on a Post-it pad and I am going to give her the entire pad.  I like giving her little gifts.  

I was the first child at the bus stop.  Jackson didn't ride the bus yesterday or today and he didn't play last night.  I hope he is not sick.

Barbara and GGF came to my school to eat lunch with me.  At 10:48a Mrs. Meredith lead my class to the cafeteria.  GGF and Barbara were waiting at the parents table for us to show up.  We are the last kindergarten class to eat lunch.  I went to the end of my class line so I could show them what to do.  We had a choice of hamburger, cheeseburger, or orange chicken with rice.  We all three chose orange chicken.  You must take a fruit.  All the bananas were gone so we all had applesauce.  We had baby carrots, and dill pickle spears.  I had a carton of milk and a red colored fudge-cycle-looking bar. Every Friday I get an ice cream type dessert.  At the cashier, I entered my code, and the lady made it good for three meals, then I led us to the parents table.

They asked me a few questions, but I was not being very talkative.  Sometimes I talk, sometimes I don't.

When GGF and Barbara had finished eating and were ready to leave, I took my tray over to my class and sat with them to finish.  GGF and Barbara stopped at the entrance to read about Dr. Metzler, whom my school is named after.  They enjoyed this little outing with me.  Barbara said next time, she thinks she will stop at Subway and bring in sandwiches for us to eat.  We saw parents who had done that.  Barbara noticed that between 1/4 and 1/3 of my class brought their lunch from home, and the rest went through the lunch line.

I played outside with my friends after school for almost an hour.  Barbara watched us while taking to Helene, one of Pearl's caretakers.  Helene made the comment that she loves seeing the children out playing.  She said you don't see that as much any more as you did in years past, before there were electronic things to occupy their time.

Barbara, GGF, and I drove to the Valero gas station on Hy 1488 near I-45 to meet my mom after work.  Mommy and I then drove to the lake to visit with my grandparents.  Maddox' was not home so I did not get to play with him.  I played football in the front yard with Papa and Mommy.  Mommy and I were a team against Papa.
