Matthew is potty-trained!!!! He has been wearing big boy undies for almost a month now, and has had only 2 or 3 accidents. He still needs a diaper when he sleeps, but he is doing great. It was hard finding underwear for such a little guy, but my mom found some very small and cute undies at the Baby Gap. Now we have a problem with his pants staying up without a diaper. He has grown over three inches in height but weighs only 24 pounds. He is such a peanut, he'll be three in October and still only wears 24 months.
He is getting a molar and has been a bit cranky. He still loves to be read to especially a book called" I love you stinky face". I have to read it every night at bedtime. He also loves his "Tractor Book". It is a booklet from John Deere showing different models of tractors that he got from an implement dealer. He loves showing everyone the picture of the loader scooping cow poop.
He has started singing songs. He especially likes the Elmo's World song and "Me and God" by Josh Turner.
Matthew has also mastered snorting like a pig. Last night we were waiting in a very long line at a benefit dinner, when he started snorting like a pig. Then he looks around and says "pig go?" So now he snorts and we have to look around like we just heard a pig but can't find it. He laughs and laughs. He has a great sense of humor.
