Xavier has School Patrol duty before school.  Normally Julian rides to school with his mom and brother but today he came to the bus stop.  That made me happy.  Barbara quizzed us on the state capitols that I know.  It made me feel smart that I was the only bus stop kid to know them... but I know I have been practicing them and they haven't.

One of my friends gave me a small bunch of spirit sticks that she didn't want.  They were good ones too, for things like perfect attendance, great conducts,  A honor roll.  I don't know why she didn't want them.  Another of my friends gave me a bracelet that she made.  Barbara said I have a bunch of girl friends.  I sort of giggled and said Oh No!

I brought home an excellent progress report.  That sure makes me happy and of course it makes my adults happy too!
I played with my friends, for about 30 minutes then we left to meet Mimz at Sprouts.  Mimz took me to baseball batting practice.  I had a good practice.  I did get hit on the soft part of my lower chest by a wildly thrown pitch.  I didn't even see it coming.  I went down to the ground because it knocked the breath out of me.  Coach Brian was right there to stand me up and help me get my breath back.  I recovered quickly and we returned to our play.  The red mark on my chest was gone soon.
