Leta came over last week and made us some cookies. We were all talking when Mattox notice a lonesome cookie. So he reached for it, to give it some company, and Daddy beat him to it saying "no, no". Well, you can see how heartbroken Mattox was when he was only trying to help. So daddy quickly trying to make amends broke the cookie in half (offering the smaller half, creating more tears, then offering the bigger half, again more tears, then both halfs, significant decrease in tears). It took him a while but eventually smiled at the whole situation. What did Mattox learn? When daddy says "no" he really means "yes". Mattox, spent the rest of the week trying this approach on me. Thanks honey! Can anyone tell me why boo boo faces are so cute?
Mattox had his 2nd birthday Aug 18 (same as daddy). Grandma Debbie made him this cool Train Cake which Mattox was extremely excited about. He showed it to everyone. He such a fun little boy, he loves to tease his sister, gives lots of hugs and kisses, and make people laugh. His favorite things include motorcycles, trucks, cars and bugs and dirt.
Well, it's been a very long time since I've updated my blog. If I were more computer savvy this would not be a big deal but I'm not. As you can see I still have the original template. Anyways this summer was very fun we visited family in San Diego, went to Tehatchapee for our aniversery, Park City for a girls trip. And pregnant Aunt Julie came to visit us which was very special she's due in November two months before me!
What do little brothers do when big sister and friends are putting on princess dresses? Snag some shoes before there gone, of course! (This is not a reflection of his manhood, he still eats dirt, catches bugs, picks on his sister, first form of communication was car sounds, spends hours digging anything diggable, playing with trains, cars trucks, balls and everything else little boys do)
