By Alice
Hiya hiya! I’m Alice—the Queen of Curiosity, Official Dragon Doodler, Defender of Daily Donuts, and Sparkle Chancellor of the Letter D! Today was no ordinary day. Oh no no no! Today was a delightfully dazzling, dramatically daring, definitely donut-approved day filled with giggles, snails, spinning dragons, and alphabet adventures.
🕵️ Discovery Dash Begins!
Before breakfast had even finished stretching its buttery arms, I was off on a discovery dash to find everything in our house that started with a “D” sound. I tiptoed, twirled, and tumbled through the rooms like a detective on a donut mission. Here’s what I found:
- 📃 My Diary (super top-secret and sparkly!)
- 🚪 The Door (which I opened verrrry dramatically)
- 🐶 Our silly Dog (who was trying to nap in my slipper)
- 🦌 My favorite stuffed Dolls (who were definitely gossiping)
- 📐 A shiny Disc (that looked like it wanted to fly to Jupiter)
When I brought them all to the couch, Fluffernutter hopped up, bowed, and declared, “From this moment forward, you shall be known as the Dragon Princess of the D-scovery Realm!” I curtsied. He tossed imaginary confetti. We celebrated with invisible tea.
⛅️ Daring Weather & Danger Lessons
After our discovery dash, Daddy Ryan pulled up Weather Underground so we could check out the day’s weather. The clouds looked like squishy gray marshmallows with moody faces. Then we watched a video about big scary fires in California. I held Fluffernutter tight and whispered, “That’s why we pray and prepare.” He nodded with a cookie in his paw and crumbs on his face like a wise (and slightly messy) professor.
✍️ Dragon Scroll Diaries
Then came writing time, where I practiced my name—Jordyn (yup, that’s me!). I traced and twirled every letter until they looked like curly dragon tails. Afterward, I filled out my Dragon Scroll Diary, where I wrote:
- My Favorite D-Word: Donut
- What I Discovered Today: Snails talk if you whisper nicely.
- My Dragon’s Name: Dizzy the Spinning-Sneezer
🎨 Doodle Time: Coloring with Courage
With my colored pencils standing at attention like a rainbow army, I dove into my D is for Dragons, Doodles & Discovery worksheet. I gave the dragon green horns, purple wings, and a daisy crown just like mine. Fluffernutter helped with the letter D tracing and called one of my D’s a “Daring Disco Donut.” Then he made a big show of pretending to bite it. (He’s not supposed to eat the paper.)
🐌 Dialogues with Garden Snails
Then we tiptoed outside where the grass was squishy and the air smelled like adventure. In our rainy garden, I found a tiny snail parliament gathered on a red brick. I leaned in and told them all about dragons and direction games. One snail—Sir Wiggletwig—lifted his antenna to say hello. Lady Mellowtrail wiggled closer. They agreed to be in my next story. Fluffernutter promised them snail-sized cookies.
🧠 Direction Games & Raspberry Pi Puzzles
Back in our learning lab (a.k.a. the playroom), I helped a penguin named Tux find his way through a maze. I typed arrows like a code ninja: ↑ → ↓ ←! Then we played a game where we had to say where someone was in relation to a box: above, below, inside, beside… Fluffernutter yelled “UNDERNEATH!” so loud I think the snails heard him—and they all wiggled in applause.
🎶 Disco Dance Party with Weird Al
Of course, no day is complete without our Daily Weird Al Moment! After watching an episode of Al, we boogied to songs about dentists, daredevils, and possibly dancing dinosaurs. I invented two new moves: the Donut Slide (it involves spinning while pretending to glaze) and the Dizzy Dragon Shimmy (requires roaring softly). Fluffernutter did the splits. Twice. Then he got tangled in my feather boa and yelled, “Encore!”
📖 Bedtime Story: Alice and the Lions!
We curled up and read our brand-new picture book, “Alice and the Lions.” It’s about how I turned a closet into a lion’s den, tamed them with cookies and kindness, and prayed just like brave Daniel. Fluffy says it might be the best story ever (but he says that about every book I’m in). I like the part where Larry the Lion wears a tutu and learns how to purr.
📓 My Doodle Diary Recap
