Wall-E
(Go see the movie. Now.—L)
June 27/08
I saw the movie Wall- E. In the movie Wall-E there was Luxo. Wall-E’s girl friend is named Eve. I like the sounds that Wall-E makes. When Wall-E charged up it made the Mac bong. I really like the movie.

The Spring Concert
[Jon is usually very withdrawn at school events, hunching over and trying to hide. But he’s turned over a new leaf this year: there were a number of rehersals for the Spring concert, and it made all the difference to Jon. Combine it with the fact that his class’s song was one of his favourites (Walkin’ on Sunshine) and he had a great time. The only catch was that he was so focused on sitting up and lip synching every word of the song, he looked positively serious. 🙂 —P]

Tonight I have a spring concert. My mom and dad are coming to the concert with me. There will be singing. The whole group is going to sing some songs. We are going to do a dance at the end of the concert. I’m going to listen to the iPod on the way to the spring concert.

As we get ready for the Spring Concert I’m going to watch the Regional Forecast on the MEDEK tape.
My Grandpa Suzuki
[What Jon doesn’t mention in his journal is the pummelling he gave Grandpa in Wii Boxing. Grandpa had initially put up only a token fight, saying “I can’t fight you Jon”, but soon realized that no quarter was being asked for—or given. In the end, Jon scored a Knock Out in the third round. —P]

On Sunday Grandpa Suzuki came over to visit. Last night for dinner I had rice, lamb, chicken, and some bread. I ate samosas and popoldomes [papadams]. After dinner I showed Grandpa Suzuki the MEDEK tape. I also listened to the iPod. I created a Mii for him. I did not do Grandpa Suzuki’s Wii fitness test. I had a good visit with Grandpa Suzuki.

I love Photon and I like to give her kisses. I am going to play with her and feed her when I get home. Daddy is going to take Photon out for a walk. I don’t want to make Photon cry. I like to cuddle with her. Pets are not aloud at Sunny View School. Photon is only aloud in doggy class. Mommy and daddy are going there on Mondays.

My Weekend

I had a great weekend. On Saturday I went to art express in the car. I made a resume and I sang some songs. After that I did some painting. Then it was time to go to the music circle. I had a great time at art express. Then it was time to go home. At home I had some computer time and a snack.

(Arts XPress is a fun, nine-week course held on Saturdays at Bloorview Kids Rehab. It features music, drama and arts & crafts—and not just the usual types: After one class Jon came home covered in dust and happily announced that they had been making bricks!—L)

I had a great time with Grandma last night. Mommy and daddy went to a play. While I waited for the supper I was watching a Regional Forecast videotape. After that I had chinese food. I ate dinner very well. After that I went back to the tape. Grandma was finishing her supper. I watched videos with Grandma for the rest of the evening. At nine o’clock I got ready for bed. After I was asleep mommy and daddy got back from the play.
