First day of school

On my first day of school I was really shy. At the first break I didn't have anybody to play with. Later that day I met these two brothers that are really nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are from Italy. Their names are Leonardo and Frederico. There are only six people in my class, now seven, including my sister. The other kids are from China, India, Italy, and America (me and Rae-Rae). At lunch time I had really good chicken, mashed potatoes, and peas. It was so, so, so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Friday day was really fun too. The lunch, yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It was fish with gross sauce and a really slimy pasta. The only good part was the dessert. It was a peach pastry. The next day was a weekend. On Monday it was my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The two brothers gave me lollipops and homemade cards. That was really nice of them. During school my teacher Madame Christine gave us all Laffy Taffys because it was my birthday. She also sang happy birthday to me. For lunch we had beef. It was really good actually. Tuesday there was a strike. A strike is when all the people that work are not going to work. The lucky part was that we didn't have to go to school. Yea! On Wednesday, today, there is no school because we never have school on Wednesday. (The blog is not letting me post photos from the first day of school right now for some weird reason.)

My 9th Birthday

On Sunday the 5th we celebrated my birthday. We got a reservation for a magic show at a cafe, but on Saturday they called to say the show was canceled. I decided instead that I would like to go bike riding. So we did! It was really fun and hot. For my birthday, my sister got me a really cool Lego watch.  I had seen this watch in a store window and I asked my mom and dad if I could have it. They told me I could buy it with my own money. But I didn't. Instead, my sister decided to be sneaky and get it for me for my birthday. My grandparents gave me some euros, a shark necklace, and a 3-D shark bookmark. My mom and dad got me a U2 ticket to see their show in 2 weeks in Paris. My mom and dad had also got me an early birthday gift when we moved here- a scooter. But my scooter broke the other day because I had been using it to jump on the sidewalks as I ride. The scooter shop repair man said it is too dangerous for me to ride this broken scooter anymore. I was really bummed out. That night, my dad took me out to get a new scooter. I got a Razor Spark scooter. It's awesome! When I go really fast on it, I press my foot on a little bar near the brake and it gives off sparks when it scrapes the ground. I love it! The instructions say to not make sparks near any people or stuff that could catch on fire. So I don't get to make sparks that much.

Beautiful park, yucky bird

A couple of days ago, my sister and I went on scooters to a really cool park called Jardin du Luxembourg.  We went on the oldest merry-go-round in Paris.  We were each given sticks and when we were going around there were brass rings that we had to hook using our stick.  Then, we found a really cool park inside the park where children go in and parents stay outside.  There were zip lines, slides, a sandbox and see-saws.  After we were done there, we got some ice cream.  We then found these very unique peddle cars and we rode them around a track for two laps.



AAAAAAHHHHHHHGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



As we were walking in the park to go back home, my dad noticed something by a tree.  Guess what it was?  It was a dead bird that was cut in half!  Then we saw another one right next to it.  Do you know what was really gross about that one?  The heart was out of its body lying on the ground.
