The journaling reads:





Michael, you are our ?What about

me?? kid. As the third member of

the 3 Musketeers, you have to know what?s

going on and how it applies to you. If

someone is going somewhere, we hear

?What ?bout me?? If someone is getting a

treat, we hear, ?Hey, what ?bout me?? If

I say we?re going to the library, you say,

?What about me?? You want to be sure

you?re included in everything, and you

know how to do it. You are delightful, fun,

and just plain goofy. You?ve always been

very attached to me, so I worried a year

ago how you would adjust to the birth of

Sarah & Allison. But you adjusted fine.

You knew how to get attention when you

wanted it -- just clown around. You cer-

tainly looked for a place in our family,

and found one as the family comedy man.

You have grown so much in the past year.

A year ago, it was ?the big kids? (Joey &

Lillian) and ?Michael.? Now, it?s ?the

big kids (Joey, Lillian, & Michael) and

?the babes.? You remind me sometimes

that you?re still 2 when you take your





?woobie? everywhere and suck your thumb,

but otherwise, you?re growing up nicely, my

little ?What about me?? kid.
