Halloween
Me: "Matthew, do you want to be Superman, Spiderman or Batman for Halloween"
Matthew: "Superman"
Me: "Do you even know who Superman is?"
Matthew: "Yes. He lives in China.....with the Panda Bears"
Me: "Oh."
Seriously, what do you say to that?
Baby
As I am carrying Matthew to bed...
Matthew: "Mommy, you're a girl"
Me: "Yes, and you're my baby"
Matthew: "No, I'm not a baby....I'm a boy!"
Me: "You will always be my baby"
Matthew: "NOOOOOOO....I'm NOT a baby"
Me: "For the rest of my life, you will be my baby"
Matthew: sensing defeat, he just sighs and somehow understands that he will never, ever win this battle.

Praying and Bo
Matthew has grown up so much lately. Physically and mentally. I'm loving it and hating it all at the same time. But twice in the last 2 days, he has made Brandon and I laugh hysterically and I thought I'd share:
(1) The teachers at Mother's Day Out taught Matthew and his class how to say "God is great. God is good. Let us thank Him for our food. Amen." I only found that out because I heard him saying it over the monitor one day! Every night, before dinner, Brandon and I take turns praying. And since Matthew now knows a prayer, we included him. Last night was 'his night' to pray. So he said his prayer and we began to eat....until he insisted that he needed to say the prayer again for the chicken (God is Great, God is good, Let us thank Him for our chicken), and macaroni and cheese, and the milk, etc. Kinda felt bad telling my child that he didn't need to pray that much.
(2) Bo, our cat, had a rather unfortunate accident a couple of months ago. I ran over him. I can only talk about it now because it has been a while. Matthew will ask where Bo is and I tell him that he went to Kitty Heaven. Matthew nods in agreement and we go about our business. Today, Matthew decided to tell Brandon that Bo was "in the oven". "Heaven" = "Oven". Hmmm...I was really hoping that by telling him about Heaven that it would be a learning experience for him.....but nope....he thinks the cat is in the oven.

Playing with friends
Kyle is going to be 1 yr old in a month. I can't believe that it has already been a year. He has started pulling up on things, tries his best to rough-house with Matthew and Brandon and he still loves his mama :) He really enjoys water in his sippy cup and he says Mama and Dada. Oh...and he quit sleeping through the night. I didn't know that could happen at 11 months, but it did. And as much as those late night wakeups are killing me...I do love holding him when it's dark and quiet.
He also loves the pool and he is going to be our daredevil. Here is a picture of him with Aidan. Aidan is Silas and Kasi's son. I grew up with Silas and it is cool to think that our kids will know each other!
And last, but not least:
