Gotta love his Angry Bird backpack!
Matthew is an official Kindergartener. That seems so crazy to me. I will never forget the day he was born. Ok I will stop crying and get back to Matthew. I have to tell you a little bit about my Matthew. He is such a great kid and always tries to help me out. He is a sports nut and could play baseball 24/7 if you let him. Now with that in mind, he is also a very nervous kid when it comes to something new. Before any sport he has played, he has been extremely excited but extremely nervous. Usually it results in a breakout of tears for a few minutes and then he is good to go. So first day of Kindergarten comes and Matthew wakes up and starts to get dressed. He is being pretty quiet so I am just hanging out waiting to see what happens. Sure enough... he comes out with buckets of tears telling me he was going to throw up. I could see he was just really nervous so I had to be very positive. It is a good thing Matthew doesn't understand that I cry at everything because I had tears too but I was so happy for him. So Kimberly and I sat there and did all we could to get him super excited and not nervous for Kindergarten. I even threatened Matthew I would dance really silly just to make him laugh. It worked. By the time we got to school, he wasn't nervous and was happy. Of course when I picked him up, he was so excited to tell me everything about school. He loves it. He is typically a shy kid so I didn't expect him to make friends right away. We have been in school for about a week and he tells me he is starting to talk to the kids. I am glad.
I love this kid... no matter how many buttons he tries to push.
