Merry, Merry Little Christmas!

Matty met up with his little friends just before Christmas for a little fun after not seeing them for a while because of all these kindergarten interviews they've been having. Unlike the last time they met, they had a little more interaction. Although, it often involved snatching toys from each other or turning off a battery operated toy that someone else was playing with. And how much have they changed? Well, big Jonas is still significantly taller than the rest, small Jonas is still very gentle, and Jason is looking more, and more, like a replica of his dad. Whereas Matty, according to the aunties there haven't changed much.

At the boys dominated gathering, Matty also got to meet Jason's baby sister, Alyssa, for the first time. He sang for her, and tried to play with her, after we stopped him from rubbing his little grubby hands all over her face. He told me later he liked playing with Alyssa more than the boys. He said  "I want to touch baby next week". Don't read too much into that... My hubby also liked baby Alyssa too, who was 90 percent angel, and 10 percent scary, like most of the female species.

At their little party, Matty also gave them a few of our homemade shortbread cookies. He only agreed to give them away after much persuasion at home. Later, I asked him if he felt good after giving the cookies to his friends.


Me:                "Were you happy your friends opened your bag
                      of  cookies straight away?"




Matty:            "No."





Me:                "Were you happy when they ate your cookie and said it
                      was yummy?"





Matty:            "No,"


Like what happened at his school's Christmas party last week, Matty said he wanted to eat them all! I guess practice makes perfect. I will just have to make him share his things more.
