Roberta’s Mom goes to Hospital!
Oh. Wow. Okay, this is big – really big! This morning I was helping my mom do the breakfast dishes when suddenly she made a funny little squeal and put her hand on her tummy. I asked if she was okay and she just told me to go get my dad. I ran to get him and when I came back she said “Robert, I think it’s time.” It’s time! It’s time!!! My mom already had her suitcase packed so I ran upstairs and got it while my dad helped my mother out to the car. Luckily Cowabelle’s house is on the way to the hospital so my dad called Ms. Cowoline to let her know what was happening and they dropped me off on the way. My mom didn’t say too much – she just kept making these weird breathing noises. Now they’re gone. I feel sad that they are gone but really excited too. I know my whole life is about to be turned upside down!
August is all about the Peridot Dog!
You may find this Pet and many more at both Ganz and Webkinz eStores!
Postcard from the Tour Bus
Hey Hail! Ugh! Life on the tour bus isn’t exactly what I had imagined. Remember I told you about that amazing chef we had travelling with us who will make me whatever I want? Well, it’s not much good having your own personal chef when you just feel nauseous the whole time. Remember when we were younger and we used to go on car trips with Mom and Dad and I always felt carsick? Apparently nothing’s changed much since then. I spend the whole time we’re travelling either sitting by an open window trying to get fresh air or lying on my bunk trying to sleep. Last night after our practice (which went pretty well aside from the fact that singing and dancing doesn’t exactly help my queasiness) Dacey stopped by my dressing room to wish me luck on the tour. I guess I was looking pretty green because she asked what was wrong. When I told her she offered me this bracelet that is supposed to help with motion sickness. She says that she uses them all the time because she has to travel around so much for work. I don’t know if it will help but at this … Read more

Ella interview 1: Ms. Cowoline
Ella McWoof: All the pupils at Kinzville Academy just love their principal, Ms. Cowoline. I’m here with Ms. Cowoline to learn more about her love of education, her role in the Kinzville community and her home life with her charming daughter, Cowabelle. Ms. Cowoline: Why, thank you, Ella! When you put it like that you make me sound so grand! I’m just a simple teacher in a small town. Ella: No, Ms. Cowoline, you are certainly more than that! You are the heart of one of the most beloved institutions in Kinzville. Can you tell us how you got your start teaching? Ms. Cowoline: Well, Ella, I came from a very large family, and being the oldest child I just seemed to gravitate naturally toward instructing my younger siblings. Whether it was teaching them to tie their shoes, ride a bike or make a sandwich, I truly enjoyed guidance and felt such a feeling of accomplishment when I saw them grasp a new concept. Ella McWoof: Is there any aspect of teaching you DON’T enjoy? Ms. Cowoline: To be honest – and I’m sure the children will disagree with me on this one – my least favorite part of teaching … Read more
