Age: 8

Mycroft finished off all of the candy in about two hours, if you wanted to know.

He finally got me the present, too. I had almost forgot about it. I am a bit sad though. It's a silly little detective kit. I think he meant it as a joke. I have not even taken anything out of its box because it all looks so dumb. Well, I took the... how do spell it? Magnifying glass. Mummy helped me. Anyway, the magnifying glass helps me to see things better, and closer up. It's kind of cool, really.

It makes Mycroft look even fatter.

Christmas is tomorrow. I'm not sure what to think about it. I've already found the presents mum was hiding and guessed what they might be. I guess I am a little excited. The tree looks nice. We decorated it last week, with real popcorn, too!

My birthday is soon. I found those presents too. Also, I think Mycroft has a girlfriend. They sat kind of close to each other on Halloween and on Mycroft's birthday, and I think I heard him asking if she can join us for Christmas dinner.

My cousins are coming over for New Years Eve. They're annoying, but mummy made me promise to be nice. We'll see how that goes.
