My first real word was ball. My mom said that I was obsessed with these miniature pool balls that I had. I carried them with me everywhere. She said I wouldn't put them down even when I ate.

I didn't spend time with many people outside of my immediate family. I was very attached to my mom and whenever she would leave to go to the store I would wrap my arms around her leg and scream and cry for her to stay.

Today was my first day of Kindergarten. I never went to preschool so going to school was really scary for me at first.
