Matthew and his Angry Birds

One of Matthew's favorite things is to beg David's electronics off of him. Most notoriously the iPad which has Matthew's game of choice on it: Angry Birds. I fend off the question to play Angry Birds on an hourly basis around here. All of which were asked by Matthew. But Matthew is not picky he will also take the iPhone (which also has Angry Birds) or the laptop. I like having the iPad when I need to entertain Matthew but he doesn't share it very well with his brothers. So it doesn't come out very often anymore. Jacob and Adam declared me the most unfair mother when I mandated at the beginning of school that the wii would only be played on the weekends. I actually got this idea from my neighbor whose son is Jacob's good friend. I have loved this rule and the boys don't even ask anymore and also when the friend is over or when Jacob is over there they know they have to do something besides wii.

 Matthew doesn't actually play games on the computer although he does watch Jacob and Adam and he also knows he can watch Mickey Mouse episodes there. Occasionally he watches Mickey Mouse while David works next to him on his laptop.

Here's some of the boys creative play antics. Adam is a good big brother and Matthew is just plain crazy. That boy says and does the funniest things. His personality is just exploding. He says "oh gosh" all the time now. As in "Mom, Lukey barfed. Oh gosh." Matthew only calls him Lukey and barf is just a little spit up. But when Matthew says it all, it's just adorable. Matthew cajoles Adam into doing all sorts of stuff for him and the latest is pushing him around in the laundry basket. I remember pushing my younger brother around in the laundry basket.
