My Favorite Season

My favorite season is summer because I get to play softball. Softball is awesome because I get to pitch sometimes and I get a chance to hit the ball and sometimes I get a chance to try and catch a ball. I really like softball.

I like playing outside in the summer because it's fun and warm. I like playing with water toys so we can cool down. I also like playing baseball, kickball, riding bikes, riding scooters, playing hide-and-seek, and going for walks. This is why summer is my favorite season.

Happiness

One of the things that makes me happy is finishing a book because I feel like all my hard work paid off. When I finish a book and get to tell everybody that I finished a book, I feel very proud of myself. I like when I finish a book because I get to put it on my reading log. I like to look back and see how much I have improved over the year. I have noticed that every book I read is harder. This is one of things that makes me happy.

Frustration

One of the things that makes me feel frustrated is when I make lots of mistakes. When I read and I make a lot of mistakes, I get really frustrated because I want to know all the words. I don't want to ask my mom all the big words. I wish I could figure those out on my own and not ask her for help. Also, writing is frustrating when I leave off the endings of words. Endings are kind of important. When my mom comes to help me edit, lots of my mistakes are the endings of words. I always feel frustrated about making lots of mistakes.

Merrick's First Birthday Party

I went to Merrick's first birthday party yesterday. It was a lot of fun. He liked his cake a lot. Camryn and I had to open Merrick's presents because Merrick was too little. Camryn is my friend. Here are some pictures.
