I start 1st grade at the end of Summer. I think I’m ready because I did really good in Kindergarten. I even got an award for making it to school every single day.

Patrick, Mommy, Daddy, Mimi and Grandpa Les all came to my graduation. We got to go to Chuck E. Cheese’s after.

I started soccer practice too. I learned that when you kick the ball, you don’t kick it with your toes, you kick it with your foot. The name of my team is the Ladybugs, and my dad is the helper of my coach. I made a goal at one of my practices. Here’s part of the video that my dad made for the team. Remember to adjust your volume before you click it. The sound starts a couple seconds in.
