Matthew's birthday

On Matthew's birthday not only did he turn four but he also had his last speech lesson. Amy has been coming once a week since mid January and after talking with her about how Matthew has improved we decided that this was a good time to stop. He is using full sentences and his words have become much clearer. There is an option for us to have him reevaluated in six months but I'm hoping we won't need to. We just need to keep practicing with him and encouraging him to articulate more.

For his birthday dinner, Matthew requested waffles with strawberries, blueberries and whipped topping. I swear someone told him what to say since this is more of a "William meal". 
Anyway we all enjoyed it.




Matthew stats: 
-95% for weight, 91% for height
- He's in the tattle tale stage. Likes to boss his brothers around and tell us what they are/aren't doing.
- Can dress himself though socks and shoes still give him problems at times.
- Most kids want mom when they are sick. Not Matthew. He whines for Daddy and will only snuggle him when he's not feeling well. 
- Still adores his little brother and has no sense of personal space when they're together.
 - Still the sweetest little boy around!
We Love you Matthew!!

Happy birthday Matthew! Being 4 is going to be so much fun :) Our favorite so far is when they make a point of being the 'good' child when their older sibling is doing something they shouldn't.
