I had another riding lesson today, and I’m so proud because I’m starting to canter! It’s a little faster than trotting, and at first it felt bouncy and wild, but now it feels like flying. My horse, Apollo, is so gentle and patient with me. When I stay calm, he stays calm too. I’m also getting better at talking to him while we ride. My teacher says horses listen to your voice, not just the reins. So I’ve been saying things like “Easy, Apollo,” and “Good boy,” and it really hel

This Halloween was SO much fun! I dressed up as Daphne from Scooby-Doo, and Mommy was Velma (she even had the orange sweater and glasses!), and Daddy was Shaggy. We looked like the real Mystery Inc. team! At first, our dog Maybelline was Scooby-Doo, and she looked super cute in her costume.

Today was such a special day because I got to go to tea with Mommy and Nana at my favorite tea place ever, Flagler Tea Co!

I ordered hot cocoa, which came with fluffy marshmellows on top, and I got a slice of their earl grey cake with apple cinnamon compote. It was SO good, the cake was soft and cozy-tasting, and the apple topping made it tast

Yeterday was Zoocademy day and it was awesome! This year I’m in the Zoo Tycoon level, which means I get to learn how to run a zoo, not just visit one. We learn how zoos take care of animals and how they choose which animals can live there. We also practice designing animal habitats. We talk about how zoos have to take really good care of animals to keep them healthy and happy, and we learn about conservation too, which means helping animals in the wild. After that, we get to
