Time for a long overdue update...

So August is here already and summer is just about over! Our baby is also turning 4 on Sunday!! It just seems like he has grown up too fast. Our little snuggle bug is a big preschooler who has an opinion and a mind of his own. Matthew has matured so much in the last year and has tested our limits we set and tries to always break the rules. He likes to do his own thing but has developed some great listening skills. He always aims to please. We're so proud of how Matthew has grown physically and mentally. He shows us every day how he is learning to write. He has great fine motor skills and takes after his mommy in the writing and drawing areas. He LOVES to draw and likes to practice at home. It's something that comes very easily to him and he enjoys it! He loves to draw pictures of his home, family and friends. Matthew has even developed some really close relationships with his frieds. Typical for a "Leo"! He likes to be the "leader" and has many followers at school... maybe not so good for him to be the leader since he gets the other children into trouble!

So Matthew's birthday party will be this Saturday, and we're sad to say that his BEST friend cannot make it. :( He is very sad about this since he and this other little boy, Olivier, are literally inseparable! They are like attached at the hip. They even sort of use there own language and only they know what they are talking about. They are so cute. But I'm sure that Matthew will get over it as soon as he sees his Hulk birthday party and all his other friends from school who will be there. He'll be so excited about his custom Pinata that I created for him since we could not get one online and he's been telling us that he can't wait for the pinata. So I had to make one. It came out pretty good, I must say so myself. Hopefully the weather will hold up since all it's been doing all summer is raining! I just really want him to have his party outside... 14 little preschoolers would be best if they were outdoors!

But that's all for now and I'll post again after his birthday with some pics and videos.
