Matthew

My sweet boy Matthew, it breaks your heart when your child asks you why you dont love him anymore, I asked him why do you say that and while he has tears rolling down his cheeks tells you I pay more attention to Ashlynn, oh how sad that makes me feel. It is hard being a parent of 2 kids and showing your love equally and we try. After calming him down and getting more from him he just did not understand why I feed, dress and hold Ashlynn, and he has to do all that by himself. So explaining it all to him and also saying we did all that for him when he was the sam age as Ashlynn, and when she is 5 she will have things she has to do by herself. But we love them both the same, but that we have loved Matty longer. He is such a big helper but he does have his moments.
So here is a little about Matty, Matthew Laban Terry was born November 8, 2005 and we were the happiest parents ever (I know we all are) I was so glad to have my sweet boy, I was very protective of him and still am in some ways, he has grown into a very sweet boy, he likes things calm and on schedule and does not like to be agrivated he can be such a great kid when you dont ignore him and you include him in everything or just let him be a boy and he does great, Matty has always measured off the charts on height since he was born and so everyone always thinks he is older then he is so they expect him to be mature he is still a little boy. At his 5yr checkup he measured the size of an 8yr old so he is very tall for a 5yr old. Matthew loves to go to pre school and goes M, W, F and will start kindergarten this Fall (I am so nervous)he goes to gymnastics once a week and loves it he has been doing this about 3years now, he will start soccer in March and he is so excited he played last year and had a fantastic time, I am looking forward to it again as well.
As I am typing this I can hear my little guy singing in the shower it is so cute.
Matthew is a great "Big Brother" and loves his sister so very much. I just love his jokes, his stories and his creativity, he love to build with legos and it amazes me what he can create. He gets these difficult sets and puts them together by himself it is fantastic. We love to build with him as well. I am getting the hang of trying not to make him wait and say I have to do this for your sister etc... Days are going so much better juggling 2 kids, 2 personalities, 2 very independent children and things a certain way, but they play together so well even with a 4 1/2 year difference between Matthew and Ashlynn. Matthew is such a blessing in our family and keeps us on our toes.
