Matthew & Avery

We get to tend Melissa & Steve's baby Avery every Tuesday morning for a few hours. Last week Matthew decided she needed to have her hair spiked like his. He kept going back and forth to the bathroom to wet his hands and then would rub the water on Avery's head. She was so patient and didn't even fuss. She is such a pleasant, good baby - Matthew calls her his "bestest" cousin.

Matthew is still playing dress up - He found the snowmobiling masks in the closet and wore one around all morning the other day. I get such a kick out of seeing him watch TV with a costume on. He brings such joy to my day - what will I do when he goes to school full time?
