Happy 5th Birthday Matthew!

Happy Birthday Matthew!!  A lot of changes have been happening over the past month leading up to his big day. 

First I finally gave up on the nap.  I decided to get him ready for a full day of school and take away his nap time.  It was an east transition, and he is really good at playing quietly while his sister (and sometimes Mommy) still nap.  I got 4 3/4 years of at least a two hour nap everyday, I call that an accomplishment!

Also we switched from a 5-point harness seat to a high backed booster.  We made this change because we got a new mini-van...(more on that later) and I wanted him to get used to a new seat before school kiss and ride starts.

We also gave him a mattress for a birthday gift, lame right?  But he really wanted to start sleeping on the top bunk of his bunk beds, but we had never bought a mattress for it.  Well he loves sleeping up there and again the transition went so well. 

We have also been preparing for Kindergarten.  3 more weeks until we enter a whole new world of real school.

For his birthday he got special cupcakes at his tball practice the night before (Thanks to his awesome new coach!)  On his actual birthday we didn't do anything real special.  We went to the Farmer's Market and had muffins for breakfast.  Then we played the rest of the day and ended with dinner, cake, and gifts.
