Festivities!

Inhaling Cora's birthday cake!

My "bed" at the baseball game.

I'm an emotional person - this everybody knows. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and am not afraid to cry for what I want. Thankfully I toned it down for Cora's big day. On her birthday I was really excited for her and I took advantage of the new toys, cake, and special activities that were planned for her big four year old birthday! Caaaaaake was one of my favorite things about her birthday, but playing with her dollhouse and taking in a baseball game were other things that I greatly enjoyed. When I was at the game, I got bored and pretended that one of the seats was my bed and I took a nap (thankfully we had an entire section to ourselves). I've also pretended to sleep in the wagon. Mommy wishes I loved sleeping as much as I pretend to so she wouldn't have to wake up in the middle of the night to get me water, or put on my covers.
For the longest time, people have noticed that I speak well and am good at speaking in full sentences (not to toot my own horn or anything). I'm also very polite - I try to remember to use please and thank you, specifically when asking for a sticker at Target or asking one of the kids next door to get off my bicycle. Just the other day, someone asked me my name and I replied perfectly, "I'm Adam!"
Some of my recent phrases are simple, but very direct:

"I want you." - works well when I need a hug
"Don't do that!" - useful when speaking to Cora
"Don't say that!" - I've used it on Daddy quite a bit

My first track of school is almost done and in two weeks I'll be on break. It has been twice now that I went into school without crying. And, today I went pee pee on the potty with Ms Tracey! I don't think it will count until I do it for Mommy though, so I'll report back on that one...
