Corwin and Chocolate in the outhouse

Chocolate is my favorite stuffed toy. He is a lamb. my sister kara gave him his name because is is black. She gave him to me. I take him with me everywhere, to the table, and even to the toilet. Chocolate has his own bib. He sleeps with me too. He is soft on his belly. His legs are soft too.

I plan to always keep him all my life. He is my favorite toy. Someday I want to put a parachute on him and have my Uncle David throw him to me out of the airplane. he will land near my house, I hope.

I want to fly an airplane someday. I also want to jump out with a parachute too. I am not sure exactly what a parachute is, but my Uncle David says I should do it some day so I want to.

I like to eat. Rice is my favorite food. My Mommy says I have grown almost an inch in the last two months. Chocolate loves rice too and is growing every day.

Your friend, Corwin
