Just Griffin

I turned 6 last September. Next year I'm gonna be 7 I think. For Christmas we got an X-Box. I've passed a whole level on Lego Indiana Jones on one map. I don't know how to pass the bridge because he's all stinky and stuff and Lego Indiana Jones can't breathe when he takes off his hat. I love my X-Box.

I used to play soccer and I love it! It was funner than the X-Box and the computer. I wish I could go again when I'm 7 so I'll be on a higher team. I love higher teams. It was so fun that I like to wear my soccer shirt. The funnest part is that it feels weird and really soft against my tummy.

I get to sleep on my new bunkbeds every day except for Sundays. My sister gets to sleep on the top on Sundays. Sami figured that out, she said so.

I'm watching the Olympics right now. Which team won? Did Canada win? Yes? Shoot. At least the first time our team won. USA. Cool. Good job! That was hockey.

I like to go ice skating. The first time I went was last Monday. I fell on my head. I accidentally slipped over and did a flip and hit my head. It was fun even though it hurt when I bonked my head. I cried but I got up and tried again. My Mom told me to lean forward after that. I want to go again. I went with my cousins. I want to try and spin around and jump next time I go. I can jump on ice skating but I don't do it very good. I wiggle once I fall when I ice skate. I used one of those walker things to help me go fast for a minute but then I stopped cause I needed a rest.

I love my house because I have a X-Box and I love my Mom and Dad because they love me and I love them too. I like my sister too. I don't know why I don't say love. Maybe cause she acts like a Mom to me. Sometimes it's boring being 6 years old. I'm going to write a different blog now.

I goed to my preschool and did Chinese. And I got some really cool chopsticks. I got a fan. My sister kept crying 'cause she was afraid to get her tooth out. My pirate suit is cool. My basement has cool lego man. My sister lost five or six teeth out. I have a cool castle. My sister can bend her thumb to her hand. And someday when my mom has a baby we're going to sleep downstairs in the basement. I have a gecko that's dead.

I'm going to write a thank you card to my grandma in Texas. And I'm going to write one to my grandma that's in Salt Lake. And I'm going to write one to both Grandpas (because Grandpa might see this). And I'm going to put little diamonds in the envelope. I'm going to write thank you cards to Ethan and Destiny because I just want to. When I'm done blogging I'm going to say hello to grandma. My knights are just like lego mans because their legs can peel off and their heads can peel off.

When I woke up on Easter Morning there was string tied to my bed. I tried to find my basket by pulling on the string. I followed it under the chair, down the stairs, I found my basket in the office. I like what the Easter Bunny does. It's fun.

In my basket there were chocolate chips (I'm kidding), there was really Reese's puffs, suckers, jelly beans, and boiled eggs that I colored. They were red, orange, green and yellow. My favorite color is red because I like it, yellow because it's cute and green because it's cool.

I like writing on my blog because it's so cute and because it's cool. I think I'm cute and cool too. Sami's cute too.

I love taking pictures with Mom and Dad. I love going swimming. At preschool we painted stuff and we colored and we had snacks. I love school. I love Miss Pateresa because she gives us snacks. What I love the most is painting. We do it with little shapes and they are squashy too. I love coloring at school. I just had my card turned once.

I love Miss Pateresa reading stories to us at school. My best one I like that's my favorite one is cleaning under the table. We clean up under the table for garbage and stuff and I like to get under there. My best buddy is Ethan at preschool. I was the kid of the month and Miss Pateresa said my poster is so cute! I just love to play with Ethan at school. It's so fun playing with him. I love playing with trains.

I love singing songs and dancing there too. We get to trade people and hug them while we dance. I hugged Ethan. We do belly button claps. We bump our tummies together. My favorite songs to sing are Ring around the Rosies and The Lady Who Swallowed a fly.

I swimmed in the swimming pool. I goed to sleep. I played outside and seed Daddy come home from work.

I like to play with toys when I'm swimming and play with the big bouncy ball that pops on the grass but doesn't pop in the water. It's a big, big one and it's a big swimming pool, too.

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo. How about you? I got hurt at the zoo. I doed the karate roll down the giraffe hill.

I just ride on elephants and giraffes. The train loves me because it takes me on rides.

My favorite colors are green and gray and black because they're really fun. I love to play with play-doh. My favorite movie is Monsters Inc. because the monster scares the kids.

[Dad's Note: Griffin has been bugging me to write his own blog lately. I finally gave in. His sister, Sami, has been writing her own stories for a while now and he's been eager to tell a few of his own. When we were thinking up names for his blog we had several ideas for him, but as we ran them past him they were all shot down (except for some really outlandish names proposed by his sister which he seemed to love). Finally he declared, "How 'bout just Griffin!" So that's the name of the blog!

It took longer to set up than we thought, so by the time it was time to put a title to the post he was way too tired and declared, "I don't know" which is now the title of his very first post. Hopefully future posts will be made when he is more awake.]
