9 Years, 7 Months...Welcome to 4th grade!

I had my first day of 4th grade.  It was a pretty good day, but it was HOT!  I got on TV for the first time which was also the first time Ellie was on TV (for volleyball!)  The news crew came to take footage of classrooms and I just happened to be in it. After school, we went to Battle to watch Ellie play volleyball in the Jamboree.

I have been pretty crabby this month and don’t really want to do anything but play on screens.  I did get to have Autumn come over to play, but she did not spend the night.  We went to visit Nana Arden and Papa Rodney to see how they can help with rides during soccer and volleyball and to just spend some time with them before things get too busy.  I started soccer and have been up and down with how I feel about playing.  I wasn’t feeling well but I still went to school on a Thursday and Friday and then we took a Covid test.  I was positive!  I was supposed to go swimming with Avonlea, but we had to cancel that.  My cold-like symptoms went away quickly, and I enjoyed being able to take over mom and dad’s room and play on my iPad and all the screens I wanted.  They couldn’t do anything about it because everyone else tested negative!  Mom stayed home with me for two days before I could go back to school.

I started to go to some of Ellie’s volleyball games, but I am getting kind of tired of sitting in the stands.  I also get jealous that it seems like people make a bigger deal out of her playing varsity than I get for anything I do.  I think our whole family is exhausted with how much running around we have been doing, so mom and dad decided to take turns going to Ellie’s games and staying with me.  I went to part of her Hickman tournament and will go to her games in Columbia (except when I have soccer practice).  It was nice to have another day off school in the middle of September.  I had to miss Get the Scoop Night (curriculum night and ice cream) at school because of soccer practice.  Mom came to Mornings with Misses though the next day.  She also took me to Ellie’s homecoming parade (which I was not happy about!)

I had my first soccer game and we tied.  Dad couldn’t make it because he went to Ellie’s volleyball tournament, but I had quite a large fan club!  Mom, Nana Arden, Lisa, Grandma Kathy, and Grandpa Tom came!  Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom took Mom and me out to eat at Cheddar’s afterward.  It was really nice to be the center of attention for a change.  Mom and Dad went to my soccer game on a Monday night while Ellie was at practice. Mom and I went to Avonlea’s house to hang out.  It’s kind of nice that mom is friends with Avonlea’s mom.    

We shall see the busyness that next month holds!

Being the best me!
