Charlie

My mom's friend Sarah just had a baby! She was going to name him Eli, but then she realize he didn't look like an Eli, he looked like a Charlie!

 He was asleep almost the whole time! Sarah took a nap in the other room so that she would have at least a little energy for the night ahead. Mean while, I got to hold the baby. We tried to keep him awake so that he would sleep a little longer at night. We half succeeded, but sometimes he would doze off and we would have to take his baby blanket off him so that he would get all cold and annoyed. He was such a little bundle of mush!!!I also had to get up and walk around so that he would stay awake. I did this little funny thing were I would step, but bend my knees so I was kind of jumping. Like this:

 After the track meet on Friday, I went to the beach with my mom. On Saturday, a few guests came.

       Charlotte, Fabio, and  Matteo came with there parents Margie, and Jonas Kaufmann from  Munich, Germany!

Charlotte was the oldest, and her brother Fabio was 7. Tiny Matteo was 5. Matteo is the one with the flying disc in this picture. Fabio is sitting on the bench. He couldn't speak English, but he could understand it. Matteo was just crazy. And cute. Mom just wanted to take him home. Charlotte is pretty fluent with English. Any way, it was really fun to play with them.

Track Meet

              On Friday, I had a big track meet. There was the 75 meter dash, the 200 meter (half the track), the 400 meter (one and 1/3 around the track), the 800 meter (two times around the track), the long-jump, and the shot-put.
              I did the 400 meter and the shot-put. The 400 meter is harder then it looks. I was so numb after it, that I don't really know in which placement I got, but a friend told me that I got in 7th place. The shot-put is when you hold a weighted ball and you hold it between your neck and your chin. Then you throw it as hard as you can, and that is that.
             My class had lunch at the track meet, and we had to settle for the floor since we weren't aloud to eat on the field or the bleachers.
            Our school got 1st place in the 3rd grade boys and girls relay, and we got 2nd in the 5th grade boys and girls.

The track meet was all together fun, and even my mom enjoyed it!
