Pink eye...nah, just a sinus infection

Today I wasn't feeling well so I went to the nurse. It was just yesterday that I fell and hurt myself. I just didn't fell well though and my eyes were really watery. The school nurse thought I had pink eye so she called my Mommy and had her come pick me up.

Mommy didn't think I had pink eye. She thought my eyes were just messed up because of the fall I had yesterday but she called the dr because I needed a note to return to school. The dr said I didn't have strep but she thought maybe I was getting a sinus infection. So she gave me some antibiotics. She also told Mommy a sign of things to look for since I fell to make sure I didn't hurt my head worse than we thought.

In the end, we ended up getting me a head CT just to be sure and everything checked out ok. Hopefully I'll start feeling better soon.

OUCH!

Today at school I got hurt. I was skipping through class and I tripped and fell and hit the table. My nose and lip are really swollen and the nurse gave me an ice pack to use on the bus. She called my Mommy to tell her what happened. It's really hard for me to talk tonight because my nose feels stuffy because of the swelling and my lip is swollen. I look just terrible. I hope I feel better tomorrow.

Halloween

Today was Halloween. I LOVE Halloween. I love dressing up so this holiday is perfect for me. This year I wanted to be something scary. I picked a vampire. Mommy was going to try to make my costume but when we went to the Halloween store to find a mask for Brother, we found the perfect outfit for me to wear. I was so scary. Last weekend we went to the annual Halloween party where my Grandma and Grandpa live. I didn't win anything in the costume contest but everyone still loved my costume. I had a lot of fun playing the games. I even won a red velvet cake. I thought it was yummy, but I don't think Mommy cared for it. She tried it but she had a bad look on her face.

Today we had our Halloween party at school. Since my costume was so complicated, Mommy had me wear my Dorothy costume from last year, which was fine. It was easier to walk in and stuff. Our party was fun. We had a costume parade with the rest of the Kindergarten classes and then we played games and had treats in our classroom.

Tonight we went trick-or-treating. We don't live in town anymore so we went to a nearby subdivision. We had a lot of fun and got a lot of GOOD candy.

This was a GREAT Halloween. I wonder what I'll be next year....

My friend Porter

Have I told you about Porter? He's in my class and rides my bus. I sit by him EVERY DAY on the way home. We are really good friends. He can't tie his shoes yet so he always asks me to help him. He'll learn someday, but I don't mind helping him. He really likes me.

Swimming Lessons

Well, swimming lessons were not all I had hoped for this week. I had my hopes up A LOT that Kyle would be my teacher. When I found out he wasn't there I had a break down. I got a bad tummy ache and just cried. I didn't want any other teacher.

There is another class at the same time as mine so we joined that class for a while. Then another teacher came in to help. She took the other class and that teacher took my class. It was me and three other girls. He took our class instead of his own because he knew I was upset. Mommy told them I wanted Kyle, and they were going to have him come to the pool for me but he wasn't working tonight.

This new guy teacher though tried to help us swim too though, just like Kyle. He was pretty nice and the lesson turned out ok after all, but I was still upset. One class left. I wonder if they'll bring in my favorite teacher just for my class??? Maybe. But starting November 6, I get a full session of private lessons just like Brother gets. I get to go to the same pool he does too. I'm really excited about that.

Learning to spell

I am really learning a lot in Kindergarten. Tonight after swimming lessons, I was telling Mommy that "Dog" starts with the letter "D". She then asked me what the last letter was. I sounded it out and said "G". Then she asked me if I knew what the middle letter is. I sounded it out again and said "O". Next she said "Ok...how do you spell dog then?" I thought about it for a second and then said "D-O-G ?! D-O-G!!!! I spelled my first word." I was so excited.

I'm also learning to read a few site words.

Day Off

Today we had a day off from school for Columbus Day. Brother and I slept in and both woke up around 8:30. Mommy had to work a little so we went outside and burnt some more of the sticks while she did her work. She stopped around 10:00 for the day and came outside to help us. Then we had tacos for lunch and went shopping for Halloween Costumes. Halloween is big in our house. I'm really excited about my costume this year so you'll have to stay tuned for pictures of my costume in the coming weeks. It's not done...yet. It will be soon though.
