Lotta awoke to sunlight streaming through her window. Today she would ride to school with Mom!
At the kitchen table, Lotta poured her cereal. Whoops! The flakes and milk splashed out!
Lotta glanced at her mother, expecting a frown. But Mom only smiled and helped her clean up.
Next, Lotta went to brush her teeth, hum, hum, humming a tune. Specks of toothpaste dotted her sweater!
Looking in the mirror, she sighed. Now she needed to change. Quick, quick before school!
In her bedroom, Lotta searched for her favorite pink sweater but found her lucky eraser had vanished!
She peeked under the bed, shuffled through drawers, feeling a bit frantic. Where could it be?
Finally, Lotta found it hiding in a sneaky corner. Now, she could finish her homework!
Dressed in her clean sweater, homework ready, Lotta hurried downstairs. Time to go!
Outside, a gentle wind blew. Lotta and her mother mounted their bikes, smiles on their faces.
They pedaled together through the crisp morning air. Lotta felt the day's troubles melt away.
Reaching school, Lotta waved goodbye to Mom. She was ready for a new day of learning and fun.
