I was the first child outside waiting for the bus!

 Alyssa was second. 

Cole was third.  Barbara was busy taking pictures of us.  Why she doesn't sleep late on her days off from babysitting I don't know!  I would!  The Gang of Four played tag while waiting for the bus.

I got a stamp for Super behavior today.

I played at Cole's house until time to dress for swim practice.  Barbara and GGF took me and stayed to watch.  We didn't get in the pool today.  Maybe because they clean the pool on Tuesday mornings and they weren't ready for kids in the pool.

We played kickball.   It's played like baseball but with a large rubber ball that you kick instead of bat.  I always had big strong kicks.  The only problem was if they were fly balls, the big boys could catch them and I would be out.  I am a great fielder.  I run faster than any of the boys my age.   A coach told me this was not a group of tough boys so I needed to be easier when tagging the girls or the littler kids.  Barbara noticed that, from then on, I really was gentlier when dealing with girls.

Daddy arrived just as practice finished.  Barbara gave him my baseball gear.  We realized I didn't have any underwear, so we stopped at my home and Daddy went upstairs to get me a pair of underwear.   We also picked up a water bottle and two Gaterades.

My fans at the baseball game were Mommy, Daddy, Mimz, and Barbara.  I had a good game.  I struck out once and I had a double.  I think the practice I had on Sunday with Mommy and Daddy really did help my batting.  

I mostly played first base and I made one or two outs.  My team was ahead until the last inning when we had a couple of errors and that cost us the win.  But we all did have fun.

I wonder if I was listening or if I was day dreaming.

First thing I did when I got home was eat a big bowl of cereal.  Then I did my Monday and Tuesday homework.  My math homework involved measuring real things with paper clips.  Like a pillow length equaled 10 large paper clips.  In this picture I'm measuring a window ceil.  I wrote my spelling words three times each.  I practiced my Wall Words.  I only have problems with one word: heard.

This is the longest my hair has ever been.  I like it.  This is what it looks like after a day of school, swim practice, and a baseball game.  It looks really nice.


As I was going upstairs Barbara told me there was a surprise for me in my bedroon.  At first I couldn't imagine what it was, but my the time I walked to my room, I remembered:  Barbara took her really nice comfy foam mat off her bed and put in on my bed.  Oh, it made my bed feel so soft and comfy.   I was asleep by 9:15pm.
