Getting into first standard; and my birthday

After a 2 week break we are all getting ready to go back to school, to first standard. But before that, there’s a big day! It is my birthday today. Quite a big day for us. We have a party at home for my apartment friends and aunties.

Amma made some yummy food and we had lots of fun at home. An uncle came home and made different shapes of balloons for us, in all colours. And we also had a tattoo uncle. I am wearing a nice pink gown that Shaina aunty gifted. Everybody told me I looked so pretty. I am sure I did. There’s also another reason to be happy.

Yayyy! Today was another first in my life – it was my first day in first standard. Which means I have a new teacher, new friends and new books. Since I already had a nice bag, I told Amma to not buy a new one for me. Amma said, ‘That’s like my darling girl” She calls me darling…like ten times a day.
