For some reason you wanted an ‘eye patch’ to wear to sleep. I knew you meant the sleeping mask that covers your eyes. You wore it for a short period but eventually took it off.

Same thing tonight.

3 days in a row you wanted tomorrow to be sharing day. When we told you no, Wednesday is not sharing day, you insisted it was. Same with thursday. Finally tomorrow is sharing day so there is no arguing.

You were so proud you remembered to tell mamae at 11pm in the phone.

Vovo and vovo gave you an early birthday gift: A new bike!
You loved it and starting riding (with training wheels) immediately.
You also insisted you go riding with Izzy.

Your friend Samantha at school must have invited you over for a sleep over (even though her mom did not say that).
When we talked about it again, you asked “How am I going to take my bed?”
We all laughed. And I explained you’d sleep in a sleeping bag. You commented you don’t have one.
Maybe time to buy one (though seems a little early for sleep overs).

Yes, I am aware that we are telling you to do things that we don’t always do. (Hopefully Mamae realizes this too). We tell you to go to bed on time, but we stay up late. We tell you to go to the dinner table, but Mamae stays on the computer.

Hopefully you realize we’re trying to teach you what is appropriate.

You’ve been waking up again. Sometimes twice in one night!! Why??

You’ve been waking up a lot recently. In the morning you tell me to go back to my bed so … you can tell vovó that you slept thru the night so you can get chocolate milk for breakfast. Sneaky.

You practiced twice, but still flipped out that night about going on stage. Finally Miss Rachel convinced you to go since you would be sitting next to her.

You had a great time on stage. Sang the songs, got your ‘diploma’, clapped for the other kids. You looked very happy. Hopefully you are over your stage fright.

Wow, your first day of Nitro 2 swimming class and you’re already completed station 1 so you’ll be going to station 2 on Thursday. That’s amazing! Our little mermaid!
