He's 8 Today! *Pix Added*

Matt is 8 today! I say it every year, but I can't believe how fast all of them are growing up. We're having a pretty low key day today, but that's okay with Matt. He worked on some legos from Grandma who's here visiting, he's watching a couple of his favorite cartoons, and tonight we'll have cake and ice cream with family.

Matt's in second grade and enjoying it. He loves math and struggles with reading. He likes playing with Star Wars guys and is our biggest movie lover. He eats toaster strudel almost every morning for breakfast. He's looking forward to playing baseball this summer and has declared that he's done taking swimming lessons. He's easily frustrated and the first to give a caring hug to someone who's hurting or sad. He's a rule follower. He still is working on saying his 'r' sound. He's got a loud, booming voice. He's very neat with his handwriting. He's got the most contagious laugh you've ever heard. He looks cute with his glasses.

He is uniquely Matt and we love him very much!

So excited to be 8!
