A Little Bit Big

Matthew turned four this week. In his own words, he is now "a little bit big, and a little bit small". He is absolutely in love with any and every animal, and is particularly fond of those that are nocturnal. Bats are one of his favorite things right now, so he requested a bat cake. It turned out ginormous and delicious, and he loved it.

For his gift we got him a fish tank and then we took him to the pet store to pick out two fish. He was so excited, and he held the fish on his lap all the way home. He named them Foxy and Monkey, and he has only scared them half-to-death a couple of times. He loves to feed them and try to make them swim really fast. (but we don't let him do too much of either, don't worry.)

We love our boy so much and hope he had a wonderful birthday! To me, he seems a lot more big and a lot less small.
