Today I Am Five!

It finally came...my birthday! My day started with Speech Therapy. Miss Valerie and I have been working on my goal of being able to have enough control of my lips and to get enough air out so that I could blow out my birthday candles all by myself. Check out the video from tonight to see if you think our hard work paid off! After Speech, I was so excited to tell everyone at preschool it was my birthday. I went as fast as I could into preschool. As soon as I saw one of the teachers, I tapped her on the arm and showed her that I was FIVE by putting up all the fingers on my hand. Mom was so excited to see that I KNEW it was my birthday! Then I used by talker to tell all of my friends in circle time it was my birthday and that I brought my favorite cookies for us all to share. I loved it when they sang Happy Birthday! After work Dad, Mom and I went to the Subway in Walmart to eat dinner. That is one of my favorite places to eat because there are so many people to watch. We came home and put five candles in five cupcakes so I could practice for blowing out the candles on my big birthday cake I'll have at my party on Thursday. I also got birthday calls from Grandma and Grandpa Parke, Aunt Michelle and Debie. Keep checking back....the party has just begun!
