Big Personality

Matthew is very independent and has some very strange ideas about things. Take, for instance, the fact that absolutely everything is "MINE." Our cell phones, Indy's rawhide, the car, the bathtub. When told that no, those things are OURS, we get a furrowed brow and an emphatic "MINE. " This we will have to work on. Other things, however are just too funny and we have to control ourselves from laughing. After playing outside on Saturday, we had to take Matthew's pants off to avoid getting mud and dirt everywhere inside. He was okay with that. As soon as the pants were off though, he NEEDED to put his shoes on. There was no talking him out of it, and someone very wise told me once how important it is to pick my battles. This was not one of them, and if I had pushed the point, we never would have gotten these pictures!

Here he's upset because I wouldn't let him have the camera (not because his legs were cold).

"What? I'm ready for dinner, Mom."

Hopefully Easer will bring more pictures of our little man showing off his giant personality!
