Happy Birthday Matthew - Caribou Munroe Islands Provincial Park

To celebrate Matthew's 4th birthday yesterday, he requested that we go to a beach with little waves. So off to Pictou we went, in search of Caribou Munroe Islands Provincial Park. It was a great park, with a nice picnic area, sandy beach, warm water, and little waves!

I can hardly believe Matthew is 4 already...I can still remember walking around Millwood subdivision wondering if I was really in labour. Many, many hours later I was holding my perfect little boy. He is a busy boy and loves all sports so far. He just finished soccer this summer and is getting ready for bball in the fall (and swimming and skating too). And he's already requested that he take baseball and football classes when he's bigger! He still loves being outside and going on our adventures to new parks...especially amusement parks. Matthew cannot get enough of rides and slides! He has a great memory and loves to count and learn his letters - he's always pointing out letters on the signs to me when we drive home from school. Dora, Diego, and backyardingans and very popular, as are superheros - especially Spiderman! But Lion King is still a frequently watched movie and we're planning to go see the musical in TO next spring.

Matthew is a really great big brother and loves his sister very much. Though they do have their squabbles, I'm generally amazed at how well they play together. It is always cute to hear him taking to Sis the way we talk to him..."see this Sissy? I will share this treat with you as soon as you finish your supper" :-)

Love you big boy!!
