The Great Ballerina 2: Chapter Two - The Magic Headband

Chapter 2: The Mystical Gifts
___________________________________
Diana woke up at 6:30. She put on her purple sundress and took her blue headband out of her jewelery box. She put it on top of her dresser and went to the bathroom to get the hairbrush. She quickly ran the brush through her hair, trying to get out as many knots as possible, shoved the hairbrush back in the drawer, and she ran back to the dresser and put her headband on. When she put it on, she was filled with surprise. The wooden walls around her had been turned into tall brick walls, and there was a crystal chandelier was hanging 20 feet over her head. The floor was smooth and shiny, and the windows were covered with red velvet curtains. Woah, what happened? Diana said to herself. Suddenly she figured it all out. My headband is magic!

The great ballerina 2: Chapter one - Seventh birthday

Chapter one: Seventh Birthday _____________________________________

Diana woke up and looked at her digital clock. It was 7:00. She looked at her calender. It was October 18th. It was her seventh birthday already! She couldn't believe it. She got out of bed and tossed her wavy blonde hair. She changed into her blue and pink floral birthday gown and brushed her teeth. She toasted some chocolate-chip waffles and ate them quickly. She ran out out the door, locked it, and popped the key in her pocket. She ran down the stairs as fast as she could. She arrived at the classroom and Lulluna Peep opened the door for her, and all the girls gathered around the door and started singing Happy Birthday. Jessie ran over to Diana with a bag full of presents. "Diana, I sold all my Easter candy to buy you these bracelets!" "Thanks!" Diana said, "The bracelets are beautiful!" Diana was smiling her great big smile. This is the best birthday party ever! Diana thought to herself.

After the other girls finished singing, they each gave her a present too. Beth was first. She smiled. Her tooth had finally come back in. "I got you this headband! Do you like it?" she said. Diana smiled. The headband was blue, and it had a big, beautiful bow halfway down the side. Blue was her favorite color. "I love it! It's beautiful!" Diana replied. "Well, I thought a beautiful, blue headband would look nice in you're beautiful, blonde hair." Beth smiled and skipped away. Next in line was Mary. "I got you a vase of roses. I thought it would look nice on your nightstand." Mary said. "Thank you!" Diana whispered. The roses were so nice. She held the roses to her nose and sniffed them. "They're lovely!" Mary smiled and walked away. After Mary, next was Ann. "I got you scented nail polish! There's lemon, strawberry, chocolate pudding, and vannila ice cream." Diana took the bottles of nail polish out and sniffed them. "Thanks, Mary! They smell great," Diana said. "You're welcome," Mary replied. She gave a little smile and walked slowly away.

Diana was very pleased with her presents. She really liked her bracelets, her headband, her roses, AND her scented nail polish. It was the best birthday party she had ever had.

Tree!

We're decorating the tree tonight, and Amber gets to stay and decorate it with us. My dad just went to Walmart to buy some ornaments, he said he's getting about 50. It's going to be a lot of fun, and we get to drink hot chocolate and watch a Christmas movie.

P.S. I have a new book in my The Great Ballerina series.

P.S. Me and Amber have a really cool blog that we created yesterday. It's called The Dogsitter's Blog. It's a blog about dogs and us dogsitting Daisy, our neighbor's dog that we walk every day after school.

Look at the sailboats, Aly!

"Look at the sailboats, Aly" is the first song I'm doing in my series of kids songs ages 2-6.
You can change Aly to any other stuffed animal name. Aly is Olivia's stuffed golden retriever.

Look at the sailboats, Aly!
Look at the sailboats, Aly!
Look at the sailboats, Aly!
Look at the sailboats, Aly,
Watch them cross the lake.
Look at the sailboats, Aly,
Watch them go down the river.
Look at the sailboats, Aly,
Watch them cross the ocean.
Look at the sailboats, Aly,
Watch them float on the deep blue sea.
*clap clap*
the deep blue sea
*clap clap*
the deep blue sea
*clap clap*
Watch them float on the deep blue sea,
my dear friend Aly!


This is Olivia's favorite song.
