Season 2 Ep. 9 - My First Piano Recital

I've officially completed my first year of piano lessons.
I'm pretty good too.
Some days I hate practising and tell my mom I want to quit. She hasn't let me yet.
She says I'm too good and that someday I'll be better than her.
Seems a long way off to me!

So here I am at my first recital.

And here's me playing one of my two songs.
I played Pop! Goes the Weasel first.
Then I played Persian Market. I even helped "arrange" that song!

Here's my mom and me.
She's not really my teacher. She trades with another lady.
But my mom was the one in charge at the recital.
It was pretty fun. Maybe I'll give piano lessons another year.

Season 2 Ep. 8 - Bad News

Okay, so, really bad news. My mom is NOT very happy about this.
I LOST MY GLASSES!
Sometimes I take them off 'cause they hurt my ears a little . I mean, I don't need them to see all the time, but Mom got mad at me everytime I took them off my face. Mostly cause I just set them anywhere I was at the time.
The day after I got them I set them on a shelf in the garage and mom happened to find them that night when she came home from somewhere.
Then one day, I took them off when I was on the hammock in the back yard. They fell in the grass and I forgot about them. Mom found them the next morning. I just forgot...no big deal...right?
Well, Adam and Cassee kind 'o like to wear them too and play with them. The night I lost them...I totally blame them. We looked all over for days and just can't find them anywhere!
It's been well over a week now. I really hate not having them at school 'cause I really do need them! I keep telling Mom she just needs to get me a new pair. No big deal...right?
Maybe I'll try contacts next!

Season 2 Ep.7 - The New Me!

Two new changes are going on here with me.

First, I got GLASSES!!! They're kind of fun to have, but sometimes they get in the way. My mom's been getting kind of mad at me because I take them off sometimes and forget where I put them. One time I left them on a shelf in the garage, another time I forgot them outside and found them under the hammock. Ooops. Mom got pretty mad at that one. They just get in my way sometimes and I forget to put them back on.


And Second, my front teeth are starting to come in. Plus, I lost another one on the bottom, but you can't really see that.
And...it's my birthday coming soon. I'm almost 7 years old! I can't wait. (And then it's going to be Easter, and I LOVE Easter! I love CANDY too! They go together so well!!!)

Season 2 Ep. 6 - Piano Lessons

I am taking piano lessons this year. You may wonder if my mother is my teacher, but she is not. She said she doesn't have enough patience to teach her own kids. (And I believe her!)
Most days I like to play. But some days ... I hate it.
At least once a week (sometimes two) I rant and rave that I hate practising and that I want to quit. So far she hasn't let me. I'm kinda guessing she never will. She says how good I am already and that I'll be better than her someday. Yeah right, she can play everything.

She tells me that one day I'll thank her. We'll see.

Season 2 Ep. 5 - My Two Front Teeth (less)

As you can see from all my fun pictures here, I am still missing my two from teeth. Yes, yes I know it's been a long time. I believe I was missing the same two front teeth in my Halloween pictures. There's not even little nubbs coming in or anything.
I keep telling my mother that she should take me to the dentist. I'm not sure what the dentist will do, but he's my only hope, right?
Mom insists that I just need to be patient, but that is just so hard when you're six.
I haven't been able to bite into an apple in ... just forever!
Oh well, I guess I should be glad I have two less teeth to brush every day!!

Season 2 Ep. 4 - My Embarrassing Mother

My mother is CRAZY, and so embarrassing.
The other day she made some muffins with apricots in them. She thought she was so fancy and had to show off by sharing them with everyone she knows. She put two muffins in a little baggy and said I needed to take them to Mrs. Bellah, my first grade teacher. Then she put two more in a bag and said I had to give them to my bus driver, Miss Elizabeth. (My mom is always giving them presents. I wish I got more presents!)
Anyway, the next morning I got out to my bus stop WITHOUT the muffins. She totally forgot to give them to me. And I'm only a 6 year old kid, I don't remember about stuff like that!
So, I get on the bus and the bus pulls ahead a bit and stops. Next thing I know my mom is calling my name and trying to find me on the bus. What the heck??
She's in her bathrobe and slippers, her hair is a "morning" hair do, and she has her glasses on! She always wears contacts, so she looks kind of funny when she wears her glasses.
She gets to my seat and puts the muffins in my backpack and tells me to give them to Mrs. Bellah when I get to school. She'd already given the bus driver her muffins.
Oh, boy. I was so embarrassed. Everyone looked at me and said stuff like, "Your mom just got on the bus!", and "Your mom wears glasses??", and "What did she put in your backpack?!"
I couldn't believe she did that!
Well, actually, yes I can believe it because she does embarrassing stuff like that all the time.
I'm only 6. I think I'll end up dying before I turn 10 with her as my mother!
I love you mom! hehe

Season 2- Ep. 3 - The Wicked Witch of the Northwest

Here I am, Emmalynn Jones, the most beautiful (because I have make-up on) wicked witch of the Northwest (of New Mexico). I love my awesome costume, especially my broom (which I forgot to hold for this picture). In fact it's so awesome, I wore it last Halloween too. Heeheehee.
HEE HEE HEE, I'm so scary! Look closely, I'm even missing teeth like real witches!!


Here is my meager stash of candy. Since Halloween was on Sunday, my boring parents didn't let me go Trick-or-Treating on Halloween. I only got to go to the church's Trunk-or-Treat party the day before. It was actually pretty fun though. I actually won some cookies at the cookie-walk. More than I can say for my school's carnival/Halloween party!

Oh, here's my snazzy broom at the church's party in the park. And my little victims, I mean siblings. Heeheehee.
