Completely By Chance

Matthew is fascinated with colors so we have been working on matching the right color with an object. So far it is more like a process of elimination. He loves to say red, yellow, green, and blue. Those are his guesses most of the time. It is only by chance if he gets it right. Take our fish, Bob, as an example. Matthew adores the fish at Wal-Mart. Every time we pull in the parking lot he starts requesting the fish. We immediately head right over to the tanks. There is one tank full of yellow fish so the first thing he says is "yehwhoa" as he points to all of the fish. One day we finally conceded and bought a fish. I first did some research and found that a betta would be the best choice for our family. We selected a red one but Matthew insisted it was "yehwhoa". Since it is red and the rocks are blue I thought it would be appropriate if we named him Rebel or Reb. Matthew still wanted to call him "yehwhoa", so in order to avoid confusion we selected something easy to say - Bob. Anyway, Bob is red, but Matthew still thinks fish are "yehwoah." Here is a video when he actually gets a color right of course it is completely by chance.

Counting

Matthew can count to ten! My camera only allows for short videos. It cut him off at seven, but I assure you he can go to ten.

Catch me if you can

Happy Belated Halloween! I attempted to dress Matthew up as a gingerbread man. He wore the body suit but refused to put on the hat. You win some, you lose some. We ended up having a great Halloween. The Tyners and the Dulaneys came over for trick-or-treating and chili. It rained some last night but that didn't stop these trick-or-treaters! Check out Matthew's bucket. LaLa (Aunt Claudia) sent it over. It had his name painted on it. It was too cute!


He really didn't want to wear the hat or the costume for that matter.


Waiting on Precious and Papa


Matthew ran inside as soon as Papa opened the door. Here is is backtracking to get the candy.


Matthew didn't take his eyes off of the candy!
