Things finally started getting back to normal today, except that I dont’ usually have school on Fridays. Dad got me up and dressed and snacked, then I rode in to school with Mom. I was in a great mood when I got there and made a point of greeting all my friends with hugs as they came in the door.
Mom got me much earlier than usual today, which was great. We were home by 4:30. I had a fun time with Mom, Dad, and Aunt Claire. Dinner features the rotini game again, much to Mom’s chagrin. Also, I had a really hard time falling asleep – I had little bouts of crying for a good half hour after Dad put me down.
I woke up on Saturday morning with Dad. After making breakfast, we headed out to Dominick’s, as usual. When we got back, it was time for soccer practice! I was expecting to see Coack Nicki, but instead I have a new coach, Coach Eve. I had a lot of fun and my skills have clearly improved.
After practice we made a quick stop at Whole Foods on our way to Gold Coast Auto Body, where we met Grandpa. When Grandpa found out we were going shoe shopping next, we asked to come along. Wow! So the four of us all went to Macy’s.
We dropped Grandpa off at his house, headed home, ate lunch, and took a nap. When I woke up, I found Mom, Dad, and Aunt Claire building bookshelves and rearranging the family room and dining room. I helped, of course, and met Dad’s friend, Jen, and her friend, Eileen, who stopped by our house on their exploration of our neighborhood. By the time Mom, Dad, and Aunt Claire were done, almost every piece of furniture had moved — and the dining room was now near the front door instead of near the kitchen! I really like my new book shelves. Also, my new table and chairs moved into the kitchen.
Last year I skipped my nap.
