Easter Sunday

This was a good Easter!

I got the best basket ever! I got a Webkins bunny, a little stuffed bunny, Cadbury creme eggs, neopolitan eggs, a "disgusto" bunny (the chocolate really was BAD), and three new "Littlest Pets". Plus a lot more candy! I don't like jelly beans, but Jolly Rancher beans are the best!!

I was disappointed though, my dad didn’t come and my “sissy” (my stepmom’s daughter) didn’t either, or my new stepmom. I still live with my grandparents.

Try going to this kind of church – it really helps my dyslexia. It is called New River. This is my church. It makes me feel better, even though I still have trouble reading. You should try it!

Things that help

1. Seeking God when others are near

2. Watching TV helps me calm down when I get upset -
I like Disney XD or a good cartoon movie or even a movie that has kids as the main character. A really good one like that is "Sandlot 2". Grandma thinks "Martian Child" is good - and I liked it but it reminded me of me!

3. Read your favorite book.

4. Coloring in a book or on a blank sheet of paper. Keep the book, paper, and crayons in easy to get to places so that when you are sad you can find them (of course it is fun to do art when you are happy too!)

5. If you have a trampoline, jump on it.

6. If you have a pet, cuddle it.

7. It is OK to be moody - don't be mad at yourself for it. It is OK to cry too. Cuddling with someone that is nice and kind is good when you are sad...

Good choices lead to good things and to God - Angel.

Hello there!

Here are some of the things that are hard in my life:

I am an only child and I wish I had a "Sissy" and a "Bubba".
I live with my Grandma and Poppa (I do like that), but I don't like not having my mom and dad. I will explain all that has happened as I write posts.
I have a learning difference - I have dyslexia and it makes my head swim when it comes to reading and math. It even makes it hard for me to write - so my Grandma is my "reader" and my "scribe" (someone who writes the answers for me when I tell her what to write). I would like school a whole lot if I didn't have dyslexia. (But I love geometry, geography, pottery, art, and the best thing of all that I like is SCIENCE.)

Anyway, I would like to know what is hard in your life - sometimes it helps to talk to someone else about it - or even just to write it down.

Write back soon!
