The More the Matthew-er

A few more Matthew stories...and a few more pictures from my parents stash (these are from our August vacation).

We were driving somewhere yesterday and I was singing along with the radio. Matthew says to me, "Mom, I don't like this song. Don't sing it anymore." I guess he's 2 going on 14? I thought I had a few more years before everything I do annoys him. Oh well. At least he can verbalize it. Later he asked me to hold and snuggle him, so that made me feel somewhat better about it.

We were innocently singing "Open, Shut Them" and my mom, also innocently, substituted the "Clap, clap, clap" line with something like "stomp stomp stomp." Matthew, who doesn't quite say his L or R sounds very clearly yet (although he's getting better), looked at my mom and shouted, "It's CWAP Grandma!! CWAP CWAP CWAP!!"
It reminded me of a line from the opening scene of Transylvania 6-5000.

And the other day he said, randomly to my mom, "You're Grandma-licious."

This is a reference to a library book he likes (Pinkalicious) but its funnier to think of it completely out of context. Pinkalicious was also the inspiration for the green cupcakes in the picture above.

And two last pictures from my parents. These are from my sister's graduation.

They needed to rest up for the big graduation party after wards. :)
