Feeling Guilty


I've been thinking about the latest blog I posted on Mathison and feeling just a bit guilty about sounding so negative about him. Although the past few weeks have been frustrating, Mathison has many endearing qualities that make it all worthwhile:


Mathison enjoys crawling around with his head rubbing the carpet, creating static electricity in his hair and making it stand on end.


When Mathison wants to watch TV, he grabs a remote and and points it at the television.


When he's hungry and feels like I'm not getting his food ready fast enough, Mathison will fold his arms because he knows that we eat immediately after blessing the food.


Mathison's favorite word is "trut" (truck) and he uses it to describe anything with wheels.


Mathison can march now, although he only does it with one leg - and it sticks straight out.


Mahtison loves music, and has been experimenting with the different ways he can move to the rhythm. He bobs his head, rocks from side to side, and bends over and bounces while sticking his bum out.


There is much more to love about this little guy; although he wears me out most days, I am soooo grateful he is part of our family!

He sure is a sweetie! It seems like all of your children have loved music, and enjoyed dancing to it. He really is a cute little boy :)

What a sweetheart! It's so funny how a personality is established at such a young age.

The good, wonderful sweetness of children always seems to out weigh the bad that comes along w/ the territory.
