I love to watch the boys play futball (soccer) in the mud after a big rain

Hi, my name is Corwin and I am tree (3) years old. Last time I dus tell (told) you about my favorite toy Chocolate, my stuffed lamb. Let me tell you about some of my udder (other) toys. I like to make airplanes. Sometime I make dem (them) wit (with) 2 rulers, and sometime I make dem wit peppers (paper), and sometime I make dem wit clothespins. I say, "Kara, go for clothespins for me," and she say, "You want I get dem for you?" and she get dem for me. Mommy always want to trow (throw) tings (things) away, but me and Connie say, "Dat will be mines, O.K?" because we want to play wit it. I have empty spools of tread (thread), empty boggles (bottles), empty boxes, straws, pieces of pepper (paper), my mometer (thermometer, made from a piece of broken umbrella spokes), plenty tings. Grammy dus give us an injection (empty syringe) to play wit, one for me and one for Connie. She also give me a motor (empty birth-control pill box with a dial that clicks). It's NIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!

Your friend, Corwin
