I slept until 10am.  I was invited to Xavier and Julian's to swim.  I didn't have either of my swim trunks here, so I wore shorts.   I couldn't find either pair of my goggles.  I wonder if I left a pair at Anthony's.  Barbara says I'm going to run out of clothes and needed things, if I don't start keeping track of them.  She thinks I'm old enough to do that job, so she doesn't do it any more.

I swam and had tacos and spaghetti for lunch with Xavier and Julian and the Erickson boys.  They had spent the night.  I came home around 1:30pm.  I went over to Anthony's to see if he could play. He was asleep..... at 1:30pm?????

At home, Barbara decided I needed to do a chore.  She wanted me to help her put clean sheets on my bed.  I said I wasn't going to and I wanted to call my dad so he would come get me.   She said I was not going anywhere until my bed was made.  It a couple of minutes I changed my mind.  Barbara says I will have to make my own bed at camp so I better learn how quickly.

I'm supposed to read ever morning before I start playing but since Xavier was waiting for me to come swim, we let it slide.  Well, after I came home with no one to play with, she had an idea.  She wanted me to read.  I didn't want to and promised I would read with Mimz tonight.   She had me look at my Blackout Bingo reading challenge.  I have 13 more squares to do before I have Blackout.  I still would not read.

Daddy took me over to Mimz's home.  I did a great job reading to her.  I really enjoy the non-fiction readings.  Today we read about the Statue of Liberty and Veterans Day.  There are questions to answer at the end of the readings.  I had no trouble reading the stories at all.  And if I am quizzed about the information in the stories a few days later I still remember the facts.
