You never thought that the day would come, did you? Where I would be the model of good behavior? Where people would say, Eat your food like Emmett. Or, Go out to the car without a tantrum, like Emmett. But guess what? That day is today! Not only am I a model of good behavior at home, but at school (sometimes) too!
True, I did just move up to the pre-K class, which means I am with the older kids. And we did all start going 5 half-days-a-week, for consistency. And you would think that these changes could have thrown me off, made me anxious, and unhappy. But no! I am doing great! I fell right it with the routine of the older class, following directions and playing so, so nicely with my friends. (It is hard not to love me to begin with, as I am very charming and funny.)
And we just started swim lessons too. I have been asking daily to go into the pond. This makes sense to me, as we have a pond outside with water in it. It is just a little smaller and colder than the pool we swim in. But, after some correcting, I am starting to ask for the pool. Check out the pictures that Mom will upload. I LOVE the water. It is SO much fun. I am working on my backfloats and kicking and blowing bubbles and going under water. The last one is a bit scary and I don’t love it, but I am determined as I watch the older kids in their class and I want to do what they do. I will not give up!
We just put our house up for sale, and I am very good at cleaning up my messes to help keep it looking nice so someone can come and borrow it. (That’s what Riley says, We are looking for a new house so that someone can come and borrow our house.) I even cleaned up Riley’s mess yesterday. Dad told me that it was very nice of me to help Riley, as he has been out of sorts lately. (see post) But mostly, I do these nice things to build up a positive balance in my account so that I can cash it in for fun things.
I love to look at picture on Mom or Dad’s phone. Pictures of me are good. But pictures of Pirates, Rapunzel, and Merida are even better. This is one step away from a movie, and we know how I adore those. I am getting better at singing my favorite movie songs, too. Songs from Little Mermaid and Tangled and Peter Pan. I also like Death Cab for Cutie, but just one song that repeats the same line over and over and over. And, as always, I am perfecting my dance moves. Whether it be jazz, alternative, or classic rock (I am immediately drawn to 70s power ballads for some reason), I will shake my tail and, I am not being humble here, I look good!
Talk soon,
The Big Pig
