Tying Shoes (Starring: A Sassy & Bossy 6 Year Old)

Gram made a video of me showing how to tie your shoes...


...but I didn't want her to video me after I was done!

Note: Although the final seconds of the video were disturbing, Gram was not hurt in the making of this video.

Ocean Habitat


We have a project in school where we have to make a diorama - that is hard to say -  of one of the habitats we learned about.  I picked the ocean because I like dolphins and I am excited about the Dolphin Tale 2 movie coming out.  I could have picked ponds or forests or desert but I thought the ocean would be good. 

Mommy helped me put it together in a shoe box.  We got some coral from Gram's shed.  It used to be in a fish tank but all of the fish died.  We bought some fish and shark toys.  I have a turtle and an octopus too.  Dolphins are my favorite and there were 2 dolphins.  But then Julian took one of the dolphins and we couldn't find it. So it is just 1 dolphin now.  So we hung a shark too to look like it is swimming. I colored the shoebox blue for the ocean and put in construction paper for the ocean floor. 


I had to tell one fact about my habitat. Did you know that most of our planet is covered by salt water? It is!

Cheerleading


I started doing cheerleading this year.  We cheer for the boys football team.  I have a Pioneers cheerleading outfit.  We had one game so far.  We didn't do the second game because it was too hot. My coach said that if we get hot we need to think about the football players because those boys would be even hotter than us.  We can stop for water breaks though.   I like cheerleading.  We do a bunch of different cheers.  I learned how to do a backbend at practice.  I can't do the splits yet so I have to keep practicing that.  I like it because a lot of my friends are the other cheerleaders too. 

Go Big Blue!

I Am Running Out of Teeth

 
 
My last front tooth has been really lose and it came out this morning!  I was not eating any apples because I knew it was close.  I sat in the princess chair and I was pulling on it but it didn't come out.  So then Mommy had to pull it out.  Now I really got a big hole in my mouth. 
 
PS - don't look at my hair because I just woke up!

Back To School...In 1st Grade!


I am going back to school and this time Luci is going too.  But Luci doesn't have to wear a uniform because she is in preschool.  When you go in kindergarten then you have to wear a uniform. My 1st grade teacher is Mrs. Haynes.  She seems really nice and I am excited to be in her class. 

 
 

I know that I am going to learn a lot of stuff in 1st grade. I have homework 3 times every week.

I am also back to Daisies again.  A lot of my friends are in Daisies.  We went bowling and it was fun.  It was my second time bowling.

 

And we did a silly picture to... ha ha!

Winter

 
I went to the aquarium to see Winter the dolphin.  When Winter was a baby dolphin she went away from her Mommy was caught in a trap and washed ashore.  A boy was riding his bike and he saw Winter and the animal rescue people came and got her.  Her tail came and they made a robotic tail and it finally worked so she could swim like a dolphin should.

They have all of the tails for Winter at the aquarium.  Every time she grew she needed a new tail.  I got picked to show how to rescue a dolphin.  You should put water on them and cover them with a towel so they don't get sunburned.  Then you call 911 so the animal rescue people come.  Now I know what to do if I see a dolphin on the beach and I can help it. 



 Me and Luci took our picture with a fake Winter.  And I got a book about Winter to take home.



Rainy Day in Florida

What do you do on a rainy day in Florida when you can't play on the beach?  You stay inside and watch movies and play Old Maid!



When it stops raining we will go down to the beach though.  I can't wait!
