Making the best of a rather rainy day
We had a bit of a downpour yesterday while Grandma and Grandpa H were in town. This meant we couldn't do all the standard outside stuff that Matthew likes to do... or could we. Matthew loves puddles, and he has a full body rain suite, so he doesn't care. So Grandpa and Matthew got all suited up and out they went to explore the puddles. The question is, who had more fun?

good thing that wagon has high suspension |

Height
We have a wall at the cottage where we have been marking the heights of various family and friends for quite a number of years now. Matthew has been added twice, but this is Rachel's first time. It is really fun to see how tall the kids are in relation to their cousins at a give age or even each other.
Matthew, not so sure about the whole process |
Rachel required some assistance |

Reading
There was a time when Matthew wouldn't sit still for stories. We couldn't even get through a Sandra Boynton book. I thought he would never like books and that was a terrible thought for me, as a teacher, to have a kid who didn't like reading. Of course, he was only a few months old at the time. Rachel is still at this point. I can't get any stories into her...yet.
So you can imagine my joy at witnessing this today at naptime. Matthew has taken to reading some of his own bedtime stories. Usually this involves him looking at either his Cars or Thomas the Train Look and Find books and pointing out all the characters he knows or finding the objects. Definitely interested in books, but not exactly quality literature.
Today he read The Monster At The End Of This Book all by himself.
