Choices

Today I learned that Alex told Judy that he wants to go see the Yankees for his birthday. He told her. That blew me away. I have never had the opportunity to do that. I am making that a goal this year. I want to choose stuff. I am really excited about the idea of choice.

Before we can talk there are no choices. Everything is dictated to us. Almost every moment of every day is dictated. I can talk now, and I am capable of making decisions. 

So this birthday, I am picking my present. I am picking more stuff than I want. I am psyched.
