Our Baby Boyer 2: November 2023

This month, Mom took me to go shopping at Wal-Mart and I enjoyed getting to look around. I am starting to expand my horizons on what I like.

I have had craft club on Monday afternoons this month after school. We made a small apron, and I chose Harry Potter fabric. It turned out really cool! I am also doing choir on Thursday mornings. I wasn't able to go to EEE one week because the teachers were all at a conference. We didn't have school for 2 days and I spent those days with Ellie at home. Nana Arden came the second day to give us McDonald's. Dad took me to a "soccer kick around" to see if I would be interested in doing a club soccer team. I hung with them pretty well.

I went to Jose's birthday party (from my soccer team) at the ARC and got to go swimming. Mom, Dad, and I went to our Church's Fall Fun Fest. I was super cold, windy, and rainy. We got to play Top golf and then ate ice cream. Mom decorated Dad's car as Cookie Monster (but didn't win the contest.)

Our class had a Halloween party and Mom got to make an appearance. Emerson and Westley and families came over to our house for Halloween. It was so nice to have my friends over for a change. We ran to each house like we were going to run out of time. I went as a sorceress and brought my Harry Potter wand. Unfortunately, it fell out of my pumpkin and I ended up losing it. Good thing I got a ton of candy to make up for it!

Mom and Dad went to their annual conference for three days, and Papa Ron and Linda came to stay with us! We went to the Mizzou volleyball game and ate potato soup when we got home. My stomach started hurting, so Linda stayed with me by the bathroom for a while. She also read to me before bed. After they picked Ellie up from school and me up from craft club, we went out to Olive Garden! I love going to eat there!

I was happy that Mom and Dad came back but Mom was busy with meetings that week so I didn't get to see a lot of her. She and Dad went to my parent teacher conference, but Mrs. Sexton just wanted to talk with parents for this one. (I think she told them good things about me!) Mom was off work that Friday so we got to hang out. We went over to Miss Amanda's house and I got to have fun outside with Kyrie and Dean.

I also got to go to Avonlea's birthday party. It was Taylor Swift themed and really cool, but I wasn't feeling all that great and didn't participate in much. In fact, my stomach seems to hurt almost every day.

Our church celebrated our 200th year. We took a picture of all the members afterward and then went to a nice luncheon. I got to have chicken tenders and macaroni and cheese and then continued to eat the grown up food. I think I am having a growth spurt! I also got to go up to the front of the church to watch three baptisms the next week.

We had our EEE Learning Fair and Mom got to come. My class was Geography and World Cartography. I made a map of a new continent named Mythica, complete with its own currency, imports and exports, and climates.

I ended up staying home one Monday because I still wasn't feeling well. Mom and Dad were also sick that weekend. Mom came home to check on me and Ellie texted her because she was sick. We both relaxed at home while Mom went back to work.

I'm glad I was better the next day because our class was celebrating Camping Day that we earned for our behavior. We played games, did crafts, and had Smores while hanging out in tents for the day. Can't wait for a 5 day break and Thanksgiving!
