eat some breakfast, play with my friend Sadie, eat some dinner and go to bed.

to play...

There isn’t a time in my life that I can remember where I
wasn’t playing a sport. From the time I was little, my dad and I would go into
the backyard and either throw a football or a baseball back and forth.
Sometimes we would kick a soccer ball. It was a lot of fun and as I grew older,
I got to play things like kickball...

there. My best friend’s name was Mittens. She was so much fun. We used to hang
out together and play all...
