Happy 83rd birthday Great Grandma Avis.  Hope you had enjoyable day.  Actually I hope you enjoy every day....
GGM Avis can still work hard.  Here is a picture of her washing a car just last month.
I slept 9 hours last night and woke up raring to play hard all day.   The water sprinkler was on so when we went outside, I took off my shoes and socks and got my feet under the sprinkler.  That was fun.  I am ready to start having water fun every day.
This was a truly routine day.  I can not think of anything I said or did that was out of the ordinary.
I had a runny nose and took a dose of allergy medicine.
It can be a challenge to get me dressed.  I helped pick out my clothes.  Then I jumped into the middle of my bear collection.   In this picture I am looking at a picture of me sitting on Santa Claus' lap when I was 15 months old.  I was crying and I was asking "Why am I crying?" 
I played hard all day.  Mimz came to get me around 4pm.  She said during the drive home I was talking one second and I was asleep the next.   Plum tuckered out I guess.
Mimz fixed dinner for Daddy, Aunt Kathy and me. 
Great Aunt Kathy is the head speech pathologist/therapist for the Magnolia school district.  She said that the improvement in my speech is amazing.  She was impressed with my understanding of concepts and my memory also.  She doesn't get a chance to visit with me when all the other kids are around.  We had so much fun this evening.   I cooked for her and named all the food we were preparing.  I do love "Kaki."  She choose that for her grandmother name because when Pops was a little boy that is what he called her before he could say Kathy.
Kaki said my speech articulation will continue to improve and that so many of my "missing" sounds are not expected to develop until later.  She thinks my speech is progressing just fine.   Play and imagination are many times associated with higher intelligence and she thinks I am above average in those areas. 
I made everyone laugh when I told them I was "a man" and walked across the room in my boots with a 100 percent manly swagger.  I wonder where I get some of my perceptions. 
Oh, something I forgot to write yesterday:   I received my second "naughty" report card.  It said, "Mason did not listen well today."  I guess I can expect a lecture from my parents.  My first bad report was a long time ago and it said, "Mason pulled several children's hair today."  Both of my parents gave me a lecture as to why that was not a good thing and they expected better from me.
