Matthew’s Musings

My baby’s going to Kindergarten in 3 months and I’m already sad about it. Something about the last day of pre-school just made it so real to me.

I don’t think I’m ready. Can’t he stay at home just a little bit longer?

I know I should be correcting some of the cute things he does and says to help him be more “kindergarten ready”…but I just can’t! He’s so adorable that I just don’t want him to change.

He still says “firty” instead of “thirty” and “finking” instead of “thinking”…how can I correct that? It’s so adorable!

He says “nuse” instead of “use”. “Hold on Mom! I need to nuse that!” Come on! My cheeks hurt from smiling it’s so cute.

He told my Mom and sister the other day “Don’t these people know they shouldn’t have swimming pools because then you can’t afford Disney World?” He says stuff like this all the time and it’s too much cuteness.

Matt will make a good joke and he’ll look at him, grinning ear to ear, and say “That was a good one Dad! Way to go!”

He’s clearly been hanging around my sister too much because he now also says “Dude, seriously?” It’s way cuter when he says it. (Sorry Hil!)

His friend’s Mom is having a baby and she told her son that it was because she wished on a star. So daily he says to me “When are you going to wish on a star so you can have another baby?” I keep telling him those wishes don’t always work…but that we could wish for something else instead! He says “Ok, I’m going to wish for a million bucks for you and Grandma!” So last night before bed, we recited the “wish upon a star” little saying and he wished for a million bucks. The first thing he’s going to do with the money? Go on a Disney Cruise and then to Disney World, of course! Where did this kid come from?

Of course I think all my kids are adorable, but Matty just has that little spark. He’s hilarious and sweet and so much fun.

I think I’ll keep him. I’m not ready to share him quite yet. Do you think the school would mind?
