Getting closer!

After another week or more of the sickies...seems like we have been sick since my last post on the 19th...we have Matt's birthday just right around the corner. Worst is I have no idea how many people are actually coming. I sent out 35 invitations to just children he sees every day, and then there was the adult invitations. My doc is coming..gasp! (even though we are super close, it is kinda nerve wracking having someone come to something so personal, ya know?) but she is talking about coming..even though our calender says she will be in San Diego, so we will see.

I have all of the goodie boxes packed, and ready to go..our t-shirts have arrived..I got all of us Thing 1, and Thing 2 shirts, and will surprise Matt with them on the party day. I made our cupcake toppers last night. I figured they need time to dry and set, and not fail on us on the actual day. tee hee...

Now if we can just calm Matt's nerves! He got sent home last week for being too hyper and not calming down. Geeze. I felt mortified. I told him that that is behavior we cannot tolerate, and that he needed to be nice and listen. Geeze..just let us get through the last couple of months of school. Then it is summer..no wait! I don't want him to be a first grader! This year has already gone so fast! Where did my baby go? Where is that little guy that I held in my arms and slept with for so long?

Time flies when you are having fun..and working, and making a living. I wish I could bottle up our little family and just stay. Just stay in this moment in time a little longer. Kate is such a shining star, and is no where near a baby at all. She is a little girl that sparkles, that has attitude..that is spunky, that is funny, that is emotional, and one that is 150% pure girly. She was in a cart yesterday at Target and as we were dress shopping for Easter, she screamed, "I want them all!!!" A little diva eh?

Matt is smart, he is strong, he is brave, he is inquisitive, he is bright, he is a thinker, he is a charmer, he is emotional, he is beautiful, he is all boy, but has a softer side at life. He has a soft heart, he loves things that make him feel good, and protected..he isn't tough and rough..he loves to be cuddled and kissed on. I see Matt growing up to be a performer..or an engineer. He just thinks, thinks, thinks..and I love that about him.
