Big Boy

Matthew turned 5! The day he was born, I could not have fathomed this day. I couldn't quite get passed counting in weeks or months, in diapers, in laundry loads.

Now here he is, with a mind and body of his own...

We love to see his big boy habits, but it breaks my heart at the same time! He's got a sense of humor like no other (even his teachers pointed it out!), is happy at heart but definately knows what he wants!

Another gymnastics party while I can still convince him that's the cool thing to do (successfully evaded Chuck-e-Cheese!) and lots of friends and family to celebrate with us.

it's still a work in progress, so check back!

*sigh* 220 days till he gets on the schoolbus. *sniff!
