"My favorite subject is Writing.  I like that subject because it is easy!  I write a lot of journals in Room 8.  I want to be an author so people can read the books I make.  Writing can be fun.  You may either draw a picture or not draw a picture.  We write lots of stories in Room 8.  We need tohave neat writing to have a good story.  Words can be hard to spell when you write.  You can go look in a dictionary and find all of the words you don't know.  Once you found all the words, write them on a piece of paper.  Writing is my favorite subject!"

Mom's Comment:

Room 8 is her classroom when she was in 2nd grade.  Her teacher, Mrs. Reid, is an awesome teacher!  All these blogs are handwritten by Robinn and I post it unedited.  Some of you have already noticed that she knows where to put quotation marks, punctuations and all that detail, she learned that from her teacher!  She gives homework, Robinn works on it on her own, and I check.  Daddy checks it, too!  The success of a child depends on the teamwork between parent, child and teacher.  Be involved in your child's education and development.  It could be the most important thing you can give them, and may be the best tool for independence.

"My interesting relative is my mom.  She has a studio.  She loves to dance and teach ballet. 
My mom is 40 but she looks like a 25 year old. 
She is a really big dog lover.  I got a new dog yesterday and she groomed her, played with her and fed her a lot. 
My mom is very funny.  She saw a big fly and she kept wiggling her arms side to side!
My mom doesn't have a baby boy, so we treat my dog Radar as a real boy. 
My mom is very nice.  When we went to Enchanted Kingdom, I was playing a game, but I lost, so my mom won and she let me pick a prize!
She loves to cook.  She's the one who makes breakfast, lunch and dinner. 
My mom looks a lot like my sister.  I sometimes call my mom my sister and my sister, mom.
My mom is a great person.  I love my mom a lot!"

Mom's Comments:

She said a lot about me... well, first thing, the dog that she's talking about was a friend's dog who needed a temporary home.  She is now back with the real owner and Robinn was okay with that.  We still have our baby boy, Radar...
I really felt good when I read this - this is also part of her autobiography book which she compiled in school.  I am very thankful that I am given the time to be with my children round the clock, except, of course when they are in school.  I must say, being a ballet teacher and having daughters just clicked for me.  I do chores in the morning while they're in school, and teach ballet in the afternoon, and the girls just love ballet! 
So, for Robinn to say all these things about me is just proof that quantity time + quality time = great child(ren).

"When I was little, I was very small and cute.  I drank a lot of breast milk.  I met my mom in the hospital.  I never got to meet my dad's dad.  My sisters got to ride a horse.  But I didn't because I wasn't even born!  When I was four, I skipped pre-school and went to kindergarten.  When I was three or four I  called a TROPHY a CHAMPION.  When I was about five, I had to go in the hospital for about five weeks.  I had to stay there because, I had to have a lot of shots.  I had a really cute dog.  The name of the dog was Heartsock.  When I was three, I had ear problems.  I also got scratched on my arm by a cat.  I loved being little!"

Mom's comment:
This was written as part of her autobiography project.  You will notice that a lot of information was flowing through her head at the time she wrote this!
 
Yes, she was purely breastfed for two years!

She wished she met her grandpa Lou Titular...

She saw a picture of her sisters riding a horse...and she wants to ride a horse, too!

She went from Nursery, to Senior Kindergarten in the Philippines,
then 1st grade in the US...

Whenever she would get awards in school, she called the medal or trophy "Champion".

When she was confined in the hospital, it wasn't really 5 weeks... but it seemed that long for her because she terribly missed her sisters!  She had a bad case of sinusitis!

Our dog gave birth to four puppies and she adopted one of them, and named it Heartsock, because, the spot on his forehead is shaped like a heart, and he seemed to have white socks...

Yes, she had an ear infection.

Our cat scratched her because the dogs were barking at it and she wanted to rescue the cat, but the cat wasn't expecting her so it got more scared...
