School is Cool!

Now that we are back and settled from our travels, I've finally gotten back into my school routine. This week I surprised Mommy by telling her as we were getting into the car for school that I was excited to go! Although I didn't get a sticker one day because another kid and me hit each other, I usually have a great day at school and do my best to behave! Mrs. Houchin says that I am not as shy these days and I actually learned that my name starts with the letter A!
It rained and rained and rained for what seemed like forever when we got back from Texas. The day before the rain started, we went to fly a kite because it was a cloudy windy day. Flying a kite was fun! I can't believe how much the kite pulls when the wind catches it! I scream with excitement when it goes up and down like a spaceship! Once the rain started we had to stay inside most of the time, and it seemed like every time we tried to go out to splash in puddles with our rain boots, it would start to pour! Luckily Cora was home for most of the rainy days, but she eventually had to go back to school. Now I get two days a week with just Mommy and me.
This past week, some landscape men came and cut all the trees down in our backyard! For almost a whole hour, I just sat quietly on the front steps watching the men use the digger to put tree limbs in the back of a dump truck! It was so mesmerizing to watch! The backyard seems so much bigger to play in now. Speaking of playing, when we went to the big park today, Daddy was impressed with how much I could do at the big kids playground. I can almost keep up with Cora climbing the ladders and sliding down the slides!
Today, Daddy set up his drum set in the attic! It was so much fun to play! Listening to Daddy play the drums makes me want to dance!
