One very special day in Seattle
Washington, a wonderful thing happened in the lives of Susan and Robert.
Do you know what it was?
A very special little boy named Thomas
Allan Parker was born. Everyone at the hospital was very excited. The whole town of Seattle
Washington had been anxiously awaiting his arrival.

When Topper Turtle heard the news, he gathered everyone
together. He declared September 5, 2004, to be a very special birthday for Tom
and an occasion that should be celebrated on the same day every year!

At the hospital, Stilty Stork assisted Dr.
Stephens in delivering Tom into the world at 7:23 AM
"You're a fine baby boy," said Dr. Stephens.
"I know your mommy and daddy are proud to have the cutest baby in the world."

spread far and wide. It seemed everyone in Seattle Washington was thrilled to hear about
Tom's arrival. When Mrs. Churchmouse heard the news, she became so excited that she fell
off of her chair and spilled her tea!
