Matthew's Obsessions

Matthew currently is obsessed with two things... CARS and LOGANN!

Obsession #1: You cannot find Matthew at home, at a grandmother's house, or even at school without one. His love of cars began almost 2 years ago. We have seen the movie CARS about a million, I mean billion, times. Chris and I know it by heart. Matthew can hear a portion of a song from that movie and know exactly what it is. He will spend forever lining up, rearranging, and re-lining up his cars. We race them all over the house. If you step on something in our house, it is either a goldfish (cracker) or a car!!!



Obsession #2: Matthew is completely enamoured by his sister. He looks at her with such loving eyes. He talks to her and tries to comfort her when she cries. He plays patty-cakes with her feet. He loves to hold her, feed her, play with her, and give her her pacifier. He comes running if he hears her crying. He kisses her (thanks for the germs) and gives her hugs. Sometimes he's a little too enthusiastic. Like the time he tried to pick her up when she was about 6 days old, uh oh! Not a good mothering moment! Enthusiasm = He thinks he needs to poke her eyes, stick his fingers in her mouth, and "rock her" when she is in her carseat. I don't know if Logann appreciates all of this energy. This enthusiam could prove useful when they are a little bit older and I need a watchful eye! Having two children is the hardest thing I've ever done, but they have already brought me such great joy!
