PRESCHOOL 101

Welcome to preschool Matthew!!!! Of course, the first day didn't go well AT ALL. He squalled as I was leaving and I felt so helpless but yet felt that this is definitely what he needs right now. After he calmed down he explored his room and made some new friends. While at school he's somewhat refusing to feed himself by throwing his plate into the floor and making the teacher sit beside of him. Toddlerhood, gotta love it!!

Ms. Rose, Matthew's teacher explained to his classmates that Matthew can't walk as good as he can and that they need to be careful around him and kind of help him along. They are a blessing, these little ones help Matthew along on the playground and want to hug and kiss him and he loves it. Why can't adults be more like these 2 year olds.Matthew has learned so much from these little ones, Bradley and I can already see a huge difference. His words/babbling is more sounding and you can actually here a few more clear words, he's a little more independent with his walking and with his feeding. He can now feed himself pretty much his whole meal with his spoon,fork and fingers without asking us to do it.

After his shock of preschool, Matthew and Nathan had some down time on the Gator at my parents. They love riding and driving this thing, how cute are these pictures.

Of course this Gator is made for a 3 year old but Matthew thinks he can operate it just like Nathan, except his feet can't reach the pedal. Nathan has to push the gas while Matthew changes the gear and steers while waving and telling everyone "bye".

Also new for Matthew this week was his NEW braces, they're getting shorter!!! Bad part is he's having to pretty much learn to walk confidently again due to his weak calve muscles.

I saved the best for last, Matthew got his first real HAIR CUT this week too. Marsha done a really good job. Thank goodness for such good friends.

Until next time, God Bless!!
