Dear Diary,

Dad stays busy these days. Cassandra and Bella play together and the others are busy doing their homework for school. I am the only one left alone. It's boring. I want to play too. Although Hamilton did give me a small wooden monkey from the shelf to play with, but it broke after Cordelia tried to snatch it from me. Dad says that he will get a nanny, but I wonder if she will play with me. I will have to clean my room so that I can give her a tour. Henry dreads the idea of hiring a nanny, because he has got so many things to do. He can hang out with his friends anytime he likes. But I don't care. Besides, the nanny can stay with me, and then I will show her my wooden toy collection, although I won't be able to show her my monkey.

With love,
Annie
