"Hi, my name is Kolpin. I'm (one, two, three, four, five, six) six because it's my birthday. I'm going to have a SpiderMan cake and I hope we get to move soon because I've never moved before. I want to move to a different house in this neighborhood. I have a big house now. I'm going to open birthday presents and I had pancakes for breakfast. I'm going to go out to a birthday dinner tomorrow: me, Hendrick, Davis, Hiwot, Burkey, Maegli, Mom and Dad, Tesfaye, Maclaren, Addy, and Dabney. Mom has a silver watch. We all made snakes. I drawed a Pacman picture."
