Yesterday Matt turned three years old. I hope to write more about his birthday soon, but in the meantime here is the birthday boy enjoying his chocolate ice cream cake he picked out from the dairy bar. (Matt learned two disappointing things about ice cream cakes: 1) They can't come with you on outings because grownups insist they will melt and 2) They are cold, which has its drawbacks when the weather is chilly.) He is wearing a party hat, a shirt that says "It's My Birthday" with a T Rex riding a bicycle, and a medal he picked out of the prize bin at the library after story time on Thursday. Matt had a busy day: the whole family plus Grandma and Grandpa took a trip to the Museum of Science. We came home to have cake and open presents, and then Uncle Vic joined us for dinner. Matt seems to have enjoyed his birthday and all of his presents (well, he wasn't very excited about the clothes and shoes, but he wasn't too upset about them, either).
