I did a terrible job with my camera today! I kept forgetting to use it or just not having time. The pictures that I did take are terrible. Matthew always seems to be moving too fast and I miss getting his face. Terry was working at home today and I took Matthew for the day at our house. We always have a great time with him - he is just so sweet and easy to entertain. We played with our treehouse and plastic Australian animals and we played with our small plastic train and I read Matthew quite a few books. He listens and responds so intently to books!
He ran around Grandpa who was doing our income tax at our round table in the family room. Grandpa also let him use his big exercise ball and he loved that. He and Terry have so much fun together. Then Matthew and I went for a walk down to the school playground. We swung on the swings, went down the slide, and Matthew climbed on the bridge between slides. He got to see the school buses, touch one, and talk to some people going in to the school. We had a fun walk and I only carried him a little of the way! He loves to walk by himself now. No stroller! When we got home, he watched a little of Dora, the Explorer and sipped juice from my big Weight Watcher cup. (We couldn't find his in his bag) But he loved my cup and it worked just fine. After we watched Dora, we went upstairs to lie on Grandma's BIG bed. We laid there for awhile and Matthew ALMOST fell asleep and so did I, but then he just sat right up and was raring to go! So we went outside and blew some bubbles on the front porch. At dinner time we took Matthew with us to go get Great-grandpa from the nursing home to take him to dinner. Shelley and Bob met us at guess where? - LOGANS! Surprised?
