Matthew

I’d like to introduce you to a boy.

A boy named Matt.

10 years ago he came into this world quite easily.

(Thank You, Matt. That right there will always makes you extraordinary.)

He was soft and squishy and round and blond and as far as baby demeanor goes he got 5 stars.

We had just moved into a fixer-upper, a great house built in 1840, and Matt would spend hours eating Cheerios in his jumpy seat, watching me paint.

Not a word out of him.

He is my only child that willingly slept in his crib with no shenanigans to get him there.

As a toddler he was once broke out in hives so bad that the doctor said it was the worst case she’s ever seen. His eyes were swollen shut.

He wasn’t one bit fussy.

He eats a PB & J for lunch every single day.

He is a master Lego builder and an expert lizard/frog keeper.

He loves to read and draw.

He has a keen sense of humor. You’d never know that, since he’s quiet, but occasionally he’ll blurt out something so hilarious and smart and witty we just die laughing.
