During daycare this week, Matthew was caught kissing Madeliene.  Matthew likes to blow kisses, too.   He was doing that to all the workers.  He came home a couple of days this week just exhausted.  I think he only took an hour nap one day and he wanted to skip dinner and just head straight to bed.  It was rainy and cool this week so that always makes him more sleepy than normal.

The weekend was gorgeous at 77 degrees and sunny.  Nana, Papa, and Nanna came into town this weekend to babysit Matthew while Andy and I went to a wedding in Ft Worth.  The girls went to the arboretum with Matthew while the guys played golf.  It was the perfect weekend. It  was so relaxing to be surrounded by beautiful flowers while listening to the live music and enjoying the sunshine.  

Matthew and the gang headed to Maggiano's for dinner while Andy and I went to the wedding.  Matthew was blowing kisses to the people sitting at the next table and just hamming it up.  He was smiling and waving.  He also had a good appetite and impressed everyone by eating lots of spaghetti - one of his favorite meals.

On Sunday, we took everyone back to the airport.  Matthew watched the planes takeoff and land as we sat in the terminal to see Nana off.  He also had a yogurt smoothie - his favorite.  He was a little sad to see Nana go.  

While 99% of the time Matthew is a good kid,  there are a few challenging times.  Lately, Matthew started throwing and flinging his food on the floor.  We thought we were past that stage but apparently it is coming back.
