Hi! My name is Tavin and I'm seven years old! I am going to Elementary school now and am in the second grade. So far, I'm doing really well in school and I haven't gotten my name on the board yet! Of course, my mommy will say that it's still early yet, but we both have high hopes for this year (to make up for last year)!
I'm still learning now to read and write, and can do a little of both, although my spelling is junky, but rapidly getting better! My mommy is so proud at the rate at which I'm learning! I can read some books now all by myself and I can write really good journals. I like school (although I'd rather be home) but when I come home I like to spend time with my pets. Right now I have lots of pets; I have two leopard frogs, a whole bunch of fish (including 2 comet fish, 1 gold fish, 2 catfish, 2 crayfish, 1 dojo fish, 1 opaline gourami, 1 blue spotted gourami, 1 kissing gourami, 1 rainbow shark, 1 puffer fish, and 1 pleco), and a beautiful lovebird! Unfortunately one of my frogs has an owie, so I had to disinfect it with some bacitracin (sp). Hopefully he's be okay. I hope it's nothing serious, because I don't know how he got it in the first place. My two frogs are named Hoppy and Hopper. I call my lovebird Red, although he's mostly green (his beak is red), he's a Fischer!
Right now my favorite foods are Danimals yogurt, Gogurt, Hot dogs, and Pizza. Mommy tries to get me try new things but I'm very stubborn and I like to balk her at each attempt. Oh yeah, I also really like spam musubis and beef jerky and beef sticks and all that other fatty junk food. I also like to eat out at McDonalds, where I usually get a chicken mcnugget happy meal, and sometimes I sneak bites off mommy's cheeseburgers if there's no pickles or mustard in it.
I like to learn about animals and bugs, and I have lots of books about them. I also like dinosaurs and marine life (salt and freshwater). I don't have too much free-time like I used to, because of all my pets (they need a lot of care, the frogs and bird need specialized food daily and need to have their water changed at least once a day, and my bird, Red needs a lot of love and attention so that he can learn how to become more tame) but when I'm not doing homework and stuff, I like to play video games and watch tv. My favorite shows are the Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Scooby Doo, Pokemon, Digimon, Zoids and Hamtaro. Over the summer I got to stay up late so I used to watch Zoids at 3am, but my mommy wont let me do that anymore for some reason.
I have lots of 2nd cousins (or third, or second cousins twice removed or whatever) and I have two full cousins! One of them was just born recently and her name is Kelsey, my other cousin is named Carly, they are fun to play with but the baby doesn't do very much yet. Carly just started school, or else is going to start pretty soon. I love my cousins and I like playing with them a lot.
I love my mommy and my daddy too, but I wish that I could see my daddy more. I miss him a lot. He is working hard though, and going to school too.
I guess that's all I have to say. Maybe I will write more later or
something if I can think of anything to say.
