Matthew Turns 3

Matthew turned 3 LAST Tuesday, October 30. At first, he didn't want to be 3 and didn't even care when I told him that it was his birthday. He was like "ho hum". He insisted that he was 2 for the longest time. But on the way home from Kids Club (I'll have to post about that one separately), I told him we had some surprises at home and that it was his birthday, he was thrilled!

He came inside and went to the dining room, where there were several presents laid out, plus a cake. He was quite thrilled with the cake and insisted that we do the candle. View Matthew's Arrival Video.

After a while, we called Sally, who had called earlier. Here's a video of Sally on the phone with us. Matthew kept trying to show her (on the phone) his new toys. The final video we have is Matthew opening Debi's box full of Mickey paraphernalia. We did that just before going to the doctor for Jim.

Here are several pictures. View the captions for a description.

Thank you everyone for toys and money. With money, I purchased winter clothes, which he desperately needs. He also is enjoying a new IU cup, but I won't tell who got that one. :-) Thank you, everyone!
