Matthew has this obsession with everything art. He loves to take a pair of scissors and just sit at his little table and cut paper for hours at a time. He's actually starting to get quite creative in his cutting; he started out just cutting randomly, but has recently moved on to shapes and squiggles. I'm impressed. Well, I got tired of him spilling his water every time he water colored, so I bought him these paint brush tubes that hold paint in the brush tube themselves and let him go to town. He had so much fun painting the paper, the table, his clothes, his hands and...Brody's face. Thank goodness the paint comes out so easily or I'd be a little less amused.
Recently, I believe I mentioned how Matthew is having a hard time differentiating fantasy from reality. This morning I went into his room to get some clothes out of his closet. Matthew said, "Mommy, you go in Matthew's closet? You see monsters? Careful, mommy." I wanted to laugh, but explained that there are no monsters in his closet and then showed him how there were only clothes and toys. He still looked skeptical, but it explained why he always wants his closet door closed lately. Also, last night he was taking a bath and we heard this odd sound from outside. It was like a whizzing sound and I honestly have no idea what it was. Matthew asked me what the sound was and I told him I didn't know. He asked if it was a lawn mower and I told him I didn't think so, so he tried to climb out of the tub...he was totally freaked out!!! So, I took him out of the tub and put a towel around him and tried to bring him to his room to diaper and dress him. He wanted none of this and ran out naked to the living room where Andy's parents were waiting. I then heard squeels when they saw him running around naked. Quite funny. It took Matthew about half an hour and Andy coming home to comfort him, before Matthew finally calmed down.
Brody has recently begun pointing at everything. Horses, cows, birds, trees; anything that he sees he points at and then babbles totally unintelligibly but he gets so excited. Very cute.
Brody has also become extremely attached to blankies lately. He used to try to grab Matthew's blanky and then crawl away with it as quickly as possible with a wicked little smile on his face. As one might imagine, this did not go over very well with Matthew, so I started giving Brody his own blanky. Brody LOVES this and complaines, loudly, if Matthew has a blanky and he doesn't.
