Since tomorrow is my birthday, mommy gave me a special present! She called it a jurnul, and told me I'm supposed to write things down everyday. It sounds a lot like homework, but she said I could just write my thoughts and draw pictures if I wanted. So maybe I'll try.
I'm real happy that tomorrow is my birthday. I turn six! Mommy says we'll have a special birthday! I hope I get a chocolate cake. Chocolate is my favorite. And daddy said I might be getting a present, too. I've heard of other kids getting presents for their birthday. But I've never had one before! Mommy says it's because we spend our lives serving...whatever that means. Maybe when I grow up, I will let my daughter have a present at every birthday. That would make me happy.
Time for bedtime, so maybe I will write more tomorrow.
Yesterday was my birthday. I liked it a lot! I had chocolate cake with blue frosting. Mommy knew blue is my favorite color. Daddy gave me a present. But it wasn't a toy like I was hoping for. He gave me a stick! He said it's called a "staff". I don't know why it has a fancy name. It's just a tall stick. Mommy and daddy said I am going to start at a new school soon! It's a school for special girls. I don't know why there are no boys at the school. But that's ok becuz boys are yucky. Mommy says I will learn all kinds of new things. I love to learn new things. It's so much fun!
I don't think I like my teacher this year. She says I'm spoiled, that I'm only so good because my dad works with the government. Mom says to ignore her, that I'm the best because I work hard. But it's real hard to make friends when nobody likes me. That's how it feels anyway. But then, I get to whoop butts in training, so it's ok. Mom says I'm the best she's ever seen with my staff. I've been working hard on my magic, too. I actually got a dead flower to come back to life! I wonder if someday I'll be able to do that with people, too. Mom said that if I keep working hard, maybe I will. But I'm not supposed to tell anyone about it. Daena would get mad if someone was doing her job.
