Leap year Baby 

  Hi! My Names Johnny and today's my Birthday! I'm so 
excited, Today I'm three years old! I know, I know you're 
thinking How can a three year old be typing this? Well it's 
because I'm a leap year baby, so I only have a birthday 
every four years. My mom usually gets me tons of presents, I 
hope I get good stuff this year!    It's only 5:30 in the 
morning, but I just can't sleep anymore I'm so excited! I 
guess I could go downstairs and watch TV, but I just started 
sleeping in a big-boy bed last month and mom says if I don't 
say in my room until she comes to get me, I'll have to go 
back to sleeping in my crib until I'm four years old!    I 
hope Mom wakes up soon, I'm really uncomfortable and need 
her to change my diaper. She says I can start potty training 
soon, but I'm kinda scared of that. I don't like the noise 
the toilet makes when you push the lever and I guess I'm 
just used to diapers. Guess I'll just sit here and drink 
some water from my bottle till mom wakes up. I drink from a 
cup most of the time, but mom still gives me a bottle at 
bedtime in case I get thirsty, and I didn't drink it all 
last night, so I have a little left.    Mom says being a 
leap year baby is something special, because I'm as big as 
any 12 year old, but I'm still just a baby. Mom teaches me 
stuff here at home, like how to type for one. She says the 
day care places meant for babies like me, won't take leap 
year babies cause were too big for all their equipment. But 
mommy has special leap year baby equipment just for me! The 
weird part about being a leap year baby is stuff happens 
that isn't supposed to happen to a baby. Like a couple 
months ago I started growing hair down there, you know where 
I mean! Anyway Mom says only big boys are supposed to have 
hair down there, so she keeps it from growing by using 
this creme stuff at bath time.    Speaking of bathtime...Is 
today Friday? I think it is, but I'm not sure. I hope not. I 
don't want to have a bath, although it doesn't really 
matter, Mom will probably insist on giving me one for my 
birthday.    Well, I don't have much more to say for now, 
guess I'll lay back down and wait for mommy to come get me. 
Nite-nite
