Today is my third HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
In my sleep my mom heard me say "fireman" and helmet."  I must have been dreaming about being a fireman.
This was the second morning in a row that I have remained dry all night.  And the third nap in a row.  I have been saying that I will start pooping in the pottie when I turn three.  Well, I guess it is time for me to start sitting down like big boy.

Mommy was excited about it being my birthday.  She wanted it to be a very special day for me and it was.

Mommy thought I would enjoy going to the park to play, so Barbara and I took our breakfast and we drove to the big playground to eat in the park and play. We have a little neighborhood playground, but I really like the big one better.

Look, Ma, no hands!

I found this tree frond....

...all of a sudden it became a monster chasing Barbara!

I love this big piece of playground equipment.

I'm not afraid at all of going up by myself.

It has four big slides, but lately I have just been able to slide down the covered one because the others are wet from the morning dew or rain.

This is a fun little ride.

In this short video my name was Pirate Jake.

In this video I was talking to dogs passing by...
We had to leave the park because workmen were coming into the park area to mow and edge.  I will return,,,

I spent most of the day pretending to be Pirate Jake, a good pirate.  In this picture I had my ship playing in a bubble bath in the sink.

Boy, I made a mess.  Barbara kept wipe up the water as I slung it around.  Boy, I had fun.

 I laid down several time but would not fall asleep.  Barbara would tell me stories hoping I would relax and take a nap.  It did not work.   At some point I started pretending to be Izzy, another pirate.  And if Barbara would call me Mason, I never forgot my character and reminded her what my name was.

I did not have any tantrums or Time Outs today.  We all hope to keep it that way for a long time.

After Mimz took GGM Lil to the eye doctor, she came to get me.  I was ready to go with her knowing that soon I would get to see my daddy.  Mimz took me to McDonald's and I ate all of my chicken nuggets.  I had been eating barbecued roasted chicken and cornbread not an hour before.  Everyone likes it when I am eating well.

Connected to the McDonald's is a convenience store.  I call it the Proud Candy store, which is what I call all convenience stores, because Mommy has bought me Proud Candy at them before.  I showed Mimz where the chocolate donuts were and she bought me some.  I told the clerk I was getting them because it was my birthday.  She asked me how old I was and I told her.  Mimz was so proud of me for talking to her.   Of course, I fell asleep on the trip to Mimz home.

I was riding my glider bike (an early birthday present from Mimz) when Daddy got here after work.  He played with me before leaving me with Mimz for the night.  Daddy will be back early in the morning to help get us get ready for my birthday party.

I was perfectly behaved all day!

Barbara got an iPad today.  I consider that to be a birthday present to me, since I will get to read books on it.  I can play my games on it instead of on her tiny phone.
