Matthew is our kindergarten boy who turns 6 on June 18th. His amazing birth mother let us be there for his birth, and he has been with us ever since! Matthew is our busy, busy boy. He is going and active all the time. The minute his eyes pop open, Matthew is ready for something to do or somewhere to go. The first question out of his mouth every morning is, "Mom, what are we doing today?" He has a love of life that is contagious...and a bit tiring for mom and dad sometimes!!!
He loves it all, but especially loves to play outside. He loves the park or feeding the ducks or riding his bike around the neighborhood. He also loves to go to Disneyland and ride all the rides. He's not too fond of the characters though. He enjoys visiting the Aquarium of the Pacific and learning about all the different fish and sea animals. He loves going to the beach and throwing rocks into the ocean or flying a kite on the sand. He loves wrestling with dad after work. He also loves Jack, our dog. He loves to play games with Jack and make him fetch his bone.
Matthew loves to learn. He is really good at math and is enjoying learning to read.
Matthew loves playing with Connor. He is mostly very aware of Connor and his needs. He is concerned that "Connor has one too." Of course there is the occasional sibling rivalry and boys will be boys right?!! He is big helper around the house. He is such a joy to us and a wonderful big brother.
