    Things are always changing,


    like the clock, the weather, and even me.
    It seems nothing ever stays the same.

    but then later it gets better.


    Sometimes Idont feel good about them,
    My life has been full of changes.

    Taffy, my kitty, ran away.


    We have looked for him all over,
    but we cannot find him anywhere.
    I miss Taffy a lot, and I am sad.

    but I will always remember Taffy.


    I dont know what I will name him,
    That makes me feel better.
    Dad says that we can get another kitty.

    Robin now lives in the mountains.


    I have never seen mountains,
    but they sound like fun to visit.
    Mom says we can take an airplane,
    so I can see Robin and play with her again.

    I wish Robin were here to play with me.


    and the house is empty.
    The moving van took away everything,
    My best friend, Robin, just moved away.

    The day I started the new school year,


    I was scared of all the new children in my class.
    I was afraid that they wouldnt like me,
    and that I couldnt run as fast as they do.

    I love my class and my teacher.


    and Mary Lou, who makes me laugh.
    I like Sarah and Ana,
    I have made lots of new friends.
    Now I am happy because

    Mom just took a new job at an office downtown.


    Shes not here when I come home from school.
    My Aunt Barbara is here to give me cookies and milk.

    she comes home, and that makes me happy.


    When the hands of the clock point straight up and down,
    Then I wait and wait for Mom to come home.

    I had a big surprise when I woke up this morning.


    My tooth was gone from under my pillow.
    There was a note from the tooth fairy and a whole quarter.
    Im going to save it to buy some colored pencils.

    because I lost my first tooth.


    My face looked like a Halloween pumpkin
    Yesterday I looked in the mirror.
    Things are always changing, even with me.

    In school I learned that crawly caterpillars


    change into butterflies.
    And tiny acorn nuts grow
    into great big oak trees.

    I think I will be an artist.


    Do you think some day I will change and be a grownup?
    Mom says that long ago, she was little like me.
