I’ve been working on being more okay with music. I really don’t like it. But after school, I’ve been forcing myself to listen to it a little bit in the car. Maybe I’ll understand the hype one day.

I’m happiest when my self-imposed torture has ended.

THINGS IS SAY #52

Instead of going to bed, I am reminiscing about all of the amazing Lego creations I made earlier in the day.

Me: I will build Legos until I’m 1053 trillion 1053 quadrillion 1053 years old.

NO PANTS REQUIRED

Drawing is a “no pants” activity.

LEGO HEAD

Too busy building to care that Daddy put a box on my head.

THINGS I SAY #51

Mommy is trying to get me to bed, but I have important things on my mind.

Me: How many zeroes are in a quadrillion?

(Long pause.)

Mommy: Mmm…I think there are 12.

Me: No!!! That’s a trillion.

Mommy is thinking really, really hard.

Mommy: Huh, yeah, you’re right.

BEING BABYSAT

Mommy and Daddy…went out to dinner by themselves.

Miss Christine, her husband Tom, and two sons, Reid and Eric, played with me at their house.

I’m still absorbing the idea that Mommy and Daddy would do something without me, but…Miss Christine had Legos! And her family is really nice.

CRAYOLA MASTERPIECES #3

Lately, I’ve been inspired by books and videos to make my drawings.

The next few drawings feature Kendall, Delaney, and Jackson from one of my favorite books, “There’s More Than One Way To Eat.”

My new favorite YouTube show (sorry, Tayo!) is “The Airport Diary,” with cool airplanes such as Force King, Winky, and Gugu.

For school, I read a book called “Giraffes Can’t Dance.” Ever since, I’ve been making giraffe drawings and Lego creations.

I also have a book called “Cleared For Takeoff,” where I first discovered “cutaway” drawings, where you can see the outside and parts of the inside of an airplane. My airplane’s usual windows have been replaced by drawings of seats.
