Three years old!!!

Happy birthday, Matthew!! Life is not dull with you!! We love you very much! Instead of a cake - we let Matthew get his own ice cream sundae - he did a pretty good job on it. He picked out m&m's sprinkles and oreo cookies to go on it :o)

overly tired silliness

I had to get a picture of Matthew's face after he ate his chocolate dipped doughnut. As usual - he ate the top off and left the rest.

He decided - in his lack of nap silliness - that it would be funny to cross his eyes - every time I tried to take a picture. He usually decides to cross his eyes and look at us while we're trying to eat a meal.

I must admit - they are funnier pictures now!

The cave

Matthew's perpetual action - pushing/pulling up his sleeves.


Silly, silly boy



I realized that the last few posts showed a "serious" Matthew. Don't want you to get the impression that he doesn't have any fun ;o)

Mark built Matthew a cave under our dining room table tonight. Matthew thought it was pretty cool and was acting pretty silly.

first school program

Matthew had his first school program this past Tuesday.

Unfortunately, because of the snow storm, school was cancelled on Monday - meaning - they didn't get to practice at all.

Matthew was his usual stoic self during the program. Even when he saw his friend, Johanna, when they finished - you can see that it's just kind of like "Hmm". I think he gets that from his daddy ;o)

SNOW

This was our first major snow fall this season. This picture was taken early in the day - it snowed alllllllll day.

You can see that Matthew is initiating a snow ball fight in the first picture!

Mark and Matthew are discussing where to build a snow man.

We're starting Matthew out slowly on the sled - as in level ground. He really enjoyed it and wanted to make sure that I was watching!

My helper

Matthew did a super job of helping me make little chocolates!

I threw the other picture in because it was so much fun watching him watch one of the Christmas specials on tv. :o)

Matthew's first trip to the ED

Matthew took a tumble off the couch this morning. He bit through his lower lip :o(. We were in and out of the ED in 30 minutes - it was great! Matthew was a trooper! No stitches needed - just Dermabond. We went to the store afterwards to get pudding(he is not a pudding guy - but thought he would eat it this time - I was wrong). He ate yogurt for lunch and sprinkled his cheese in it.

After his nap he told Mark that he felt all better.
