Learning new letters

Matthew is really in full swing learning his letters. He spots them everywhere. "Look on that sign!", "Look at that cloud!", "Look on that shirt!"...etc. etc.

But, one thing we did not expect was for Matthew to excitedly exclaim one day, "Look, mom, what letter is that? Look! It's a 'J'!" I'll let you figure out where he was when he said this (no, he wasn't in the bathtub! And, he'd be insulted if you thought that!)

I don't know where on his progress reports that could be put, but it makes you see things in a whole different way when you try and figure out the world from a 4 1/2 -year old's point of view.

Hair cuts...by Matthew

Lesson Number 429:

NEVER LET A 4-YEAR OLD PLAY WITH SCISSORS BEHIND YOUR BACK. LITERALLY, BEHIND YOUR BACK. IT WON'T TAKE LONG FOR HIM TO REALIZE THERE IS HAIR THERE TO CUT, AND LOOK WHAT'S IN MY HAND!!! THE THING THAT ONE USES TO CUT HAIR! AND, WHAT NEAT SNIPPING NOISES THEY MAKE! THIS IS GREAT FUN!!!!

He didn't get any that we could see- not that you'd be able to tell with my hairstyle (or lack therof).
