Sled with Will
The photos from this entry look like they were taken in the evening. They might have been an after-school activity, but they might also have been a leftover set of photos from the long weekend.
On weekdays when we forgot to take a photo or if there just wasn’t anything ‘journal-worthy’ to write about, we included general thigs. In this entry, Mikey just says, “I love to sled with Will.” He doesn’t say exactly when he did it.
Since the point of the journal is to share Mikey’s life and personality with his classmates, it doesn’t really matter as long as the entry is genuine to him.
And, he really did love to sled with Will.
