I'm getting a baby sister!

Mommy and Daddy have been talking a lot lately about adopting a baby sister. While I was playing with my soccer ball, Mommy asked me if I was happy I was getting a baby sister. I said, "Baby sisters don't play soccer champion tackle." Mommy said that I was right, that my baby sister will be too little to play soccer champion tackle and that I will have to wait until she gets bigger. So for a while I'll still have to play those games with Michael or Emily from across the street. Mommy and Daddy like to play ball with me too when they're not busy rearranging the baby's room and reading baby magazines. I'm usually pretty patient. I guess that means I'll be a good big brother. I even asked for a baby girl and now that's what I'm getting. "Isn't that amazing?"

Even more exciting was our adventure today! The tornado sirens got my attention lots more than Daddy when he said, "You're going to be a big brother!" and I said, "Look at Blake's trucks!" I knew right away that there was a tornado and told Mommy we had to go in the basement. Mommy said there wasn't a tornado, only a tornado warning, and we had to go downstairs to be safe. We sat on the toilet in Daddy's bathroom for 15 minutes (which afterward I thought was pretty funny) and we read Where the Sidewalk Ends. Then I went back to my nap. By that time I was REALLY tired!
