Matthew has decided that he is learning to tell time! He is always asking what time it is! Last night around 10:30 he said...let me see your phone, I want to see what time it is.
I showed him my phone and he goes..."2 o'clock!"
I chuckled of course, but tonight at 8:45 p.m. Matt says..."Let me see your phone, I need to know what time it is!"
I show him my phone and he goes..."2 o'clock!"
What a kid!

What a day!
I started the day by calling the doctor today to let him know I've been a little crampy the last couple days, instead of being like "Okay, watch yourself." I get..."Get in here as soon as possible!"
I go in and he says that he's worried about my history...pre-term labor with Matthew...and my job...being a nurse! :) He then sends me up to the hospital for a non-stress test, which at 27 weeks, isn't the greatest, but would show what my uterus is doing! :)
The test turned out fine, it was actually really good because he was more reactive in the test than he should be at 27 weeks! However, he wanted to see if bringing my stress level down would help with the cramping, so I get to get acquainted with my couch for the next couple of days!
He also sent me home with instructions to drink lots since my heart was racing and my urine wasn't really good!
I have to go back in Friday and get the final verdict then!
This child I have a feeling is living up to his namesake...early! I think he may have flipped too because my ribs are getting kicked tonight, rather than my bladder!!

Choke!
Matthew is taking Dallergy twice a day during this awesome time known as allergy season!
I had forgot to give him the pill tonight, so I said to him real quick...Matthew should we go take your pill real quick?
He goes...YES! Momma, I need milk with it though so I can choke it down!
I'm not sure where he came up with this, butI got a good chuckle out of it!

God Moment
I find joy in many little things and can cry at pretty much the smallest things tonight, but this took the cake!
I am putting together a small scrapbook for my boys about their Great-grandparent Shoemakers. Matthew was snuggled up next to me and was looking at the pictures and he goes..."I know him."
For those that don't know...my Grandpa passed in 1998.
I asked and said..."How do you know him?"
He said..."That my Grandpa."
With a big smile on my face, I showed him another picture...all of these pictures are from way before even my time!!
I again asked..."Who is that?"
He said..."Bob, my grandpa!"
I started crying. I talk about their great-grandpa often, but not in great details. I will say things like..."Your Great-grandpa would have loved you so much!" I say this when they are being goofy and I can picture grandpa sitting here smiling!
I asked further..."How do you know who that is?"
Matt said..."I see him."
I asked..."Where did you see him?"
"In my head!"
Then I started telling him about how Grandpa went to live with God way before Matthew was ever born.
Then Matthew said something that stopped my heart..."Momma, he was with God when I see him!"
Now, I'm not a quack, and it's not like I take what a 4 year old tells me to heart, but it was just one of those perfect moments.
For those that don't know...Matthew was named after his great-grandpa...Matthew Robert!

Dreaming
last night Matthew crawled in bed with me about 3 a.m. He crawls in bed with me and tells me that when my tummy gets big enough...the baby will just "pop" out! I chuckled and then he snuggled right in!
Who knows what he was dreaming about, but he is so concerned about this baby and how he's going to get out of mommy's tummy!

Updates!!
We visited with Dr. Murphy and Dr. Rhinehardt again today!
Dr. Rhinehardt said that Matthew's hypermobility is doing great. Needs some more help to stabilize hips and ankles, but we can do that! He said as far as long run, we don't need to see him, unless we have issues. As far as long, long run he may have to wear ankle braces to support his ankles from rolling when he plays sports, but so did Jason and I!
Okay...so allergy update!
Drew's regimen got all changed again today! He will continue with the Dallergy twice a day and the steroid cream for now, but since all of his allergies are things we can't control...grass, trees, ragweed...and the medicine isn't working very well, we get to start allergy shots.
He said with Matthew's being food allergies, we could take them away from him so therefore no shots. This is not the case obviously with Drew.
They mix up the serum and then send it to the clinic here and then we go in once a week for shots.
He wanted to do this therapy so he doesn't have to shove pills down his throat for the rest of his life! :) I like that theory!
He was very hopeful that we could make Drew feel better! He said the downfall to all of this, is that he's allergic to all the things that little boys love!
Matt got some help out with allergies too, and possible future testing later, but for now, just a pill to help!

School
I picked up Drew this afternoon from school this afternoon and said tohim...what did you learn today?
Reply..."NOTHING!"
I said, "surely you had to learn something!"
He goes..."No mom, we learned absolutely nothing!"
Who knows...but he cracks me up!

Speech Practice
Matthew has been taking speech therapy for almost 2 years now.
He brought home words tonight to work on and so we sat down to work on them. The focus was on the three syllable words and getting all of the syllables. We had a few issues...funny ones...
"animals" came out... "ani animals"
"camera" came out... "have cam-er-a"
and my favorite...
I said..."sa-lam-i"
Reply..."sa-lam-you!"
