Mama texted Nanaw on Thursday morning about one of the stuffed lemurs, Larry, being missing. Nanaw found him in the computer lab with Nanaw's stuffed animals. Evidently, Larry had an unauthorized sleepover, as shown in the first picture below (Larry is the one with the green ribbon around his neck). Mama and Chase didn't come over to Nanaw's house on Thursday morning because Nanaw had a meeting at church for additional training on the church's new electronic sign. After her meeting, Nanaw picked Chase up at his house. She fixed his lunch after they got back to Nanaw's house. He had a frozen dinner of 5 cheese ziti (which he had for the first time a couple of weeks ago and really liked), cauliflower, strawberries, grapes and chocolate milk, plus his vitamins and probiotics. Mama and Nanaw are trying to get him to be as healthy as possible so he gets fruit and vegetables and vitamins. After lunch, Chase and Nanaw had school. Nanaw thinks that because of all the practicing they're doing, he's getting even better at math than he was last year, which makes Mama and Nanaw happy. Nanaw gave Chase the topic of writing about his favorite fireworks in his journal but he didn’t like that topic. So Nanaw told him to write about whatever he wanted. He wrote about his stuffed lemur, Lars, named after the Cardinals' player Lars Nootbaar. He wrote about what Lars looks like, where he came from, what kind of lemur he is, and how much Chase likes him. So that worked out well. Nanaw likes how Chase's school emphasizes writing for students. In last year's fifth-grade class, the students wrote in their journals every morning but Friday. They also had a Weekly Writing assignment due each Thursday that they had to write in cursive. Nanaw hasn't been having Chase practice his cursive writing this summer yet so she'll start that next Wednesday when school resumes.
