Grandad told me he's going to start training me today
i don't know what that means but i'm soooooooo excited

i love grandad so much
he's cranky sometimes but he told me i'm his favourite
he told me i can read and write very well for a two year old

mommy didn't look too happy when he said that though

today grandad woke me up just as the sun was rising for my lessons
i am learning polish, italian, russian, english, spanish, chinese and french
he told me i must be some sort of child prodigy
all of the other two year olds here can't even speak as much as i can

zofia and i were playing but grandad took me away to go learn some more. i was learning numbers

i'm like a superhero with lots of powers
i can walk and run and skip and read and write and learn so much more than they can!

when i get my spellings wrong he gets very angry so i'm taking my time with this just in case

after my lessons i had breakfast
my favourite, fruit salad with yogurt!

so much happened today that i can barely remember but i can't write it all down because it's night time now

night night

My tummy really hurts today
grandad had me doing all sorts of exercise
he told me four year old girls should know how to do all of this

i was able to pull my chin up to the metal bar today for the first time!!
but when i let go of the bar i fell and i hit my knees really hard off of the ground
they started bleeding and my tummy felt funny

grandad grabbed my ear and gave out
he told me i should get used to seeing blood
i don't know why, but i'll try and be better for my grandad!

i made zofia cry today by accident. i didn't mean to push her so hard

mommy said i don't know my own strength. she said the other boys and girls don't exercise as much as i do so they're not as strong

i'm better than them haha!!

i wasn't allowed eat a lot today but i got to have some mango
mango is my favourite it's so yummy

okay i have to go

night night

he hit me again today

he told me big girls don't cry
i'm not a big girl though. i'm only eight :(

mommy got upset when she saw my wrists
there's lots of bruises from the big man grandad took me to

they really hurt

he really hurt me

but it's okay because grandad said it's all for my own good :)

he told me i'm going to be the best in the whole entire world :D

today i was sparring with other children here
i won all of my matches i was so happy

zofia was jealous i won, but i stuck my tongue out at her. she's my best friend forever though so she didn't stay angry
