When I am on vacation, I play with my sister. I love her a lot. She is a baby. She is a biting machine. And also she is a pinching machine. When my dad is at work she sings for him. 

Analysis:
Firstly, I would like to point out that "biting" and "pinching" were two of the only 'big' words I could spell back then, which must mean something. Secondly, the event indicated in the line "When my dad is at work she sings for him" was absolutely adorable. She would stand by the door, singing ballads wishing that he would come home. When he finally did come home, she would launch herself at him with open arms and cling to him like a baby monkey. :)

I hope you enjoyed this blog post!

I love my family. Every person in the world has a family. If someone doesn't have a family, that is trouble. Do you love your family? Does your family love you? I hope you love your family a lot. Last night I played Scrabble with my mom and dad. I love my little [sister?].

Analysis:
I love that I chose to use words that I (mostly) knew how to spell in this entry. I don't think current me would ever ask so many questions of a stranger reading my family. Like, "Hi! It's so great to meet you! My name is Lydia. Do you love your family? Does your family love you? I hope you love your family!".

I hope you enjoyed this post!
