Big boy Pants

Last week Preston and I went to visit his gymnastic teacher Mrs Racheal to ask her a question about gymnastic camp. She told Preston she does not change diapers and if he wanted to go to camp he would have to be potty trained. On monday he wanted to wear big boy pants and since then he has been in them and doing his business in the potty. So pround of the little man.

Walks

May 6th Addison took her first few step to her mama. It was great. The same day Preston started to swim under water. It was a big day at the Matulewicz homestead.

Three

Tomorrow Preston turns three. It really has not felt like three years since we brought him to this world, I feel like it was the other day we walked out of the hospital. Today we celebrated his birthday for a second time the first in New Mexico and the second with Papu and Auntie Des. I'm amazed how Preston articulated his words and spoke full sentence at the lunch table. He has grown to be a little boy. I am a proud father. Not just with Preston but with Addison too. She is so different than Preston was when he was a baby. She plays so much more than he did and by herself. She just makes you smile. I love being their Papa. What a gift.

Lunch time

Today at luck I shared some of my broccoli with Preston, he even took a huge piece out of my hand and stuffed it into his mouth, then took the last remaining pieces from me. I asked him to share his broccoli with me but he proceeded to finish his with out sharing. I was a little sad he did not share with me but proud he ate that much broccoli

Tonight Preston fell in the shower, after Holly had him all dried off and all calm he came to me to tell he he had a boo boo. Preston " Papa I have a boo boo right there, that right there" He was was pointing to his elbow. I kissed it for him and made the world better. j

Today I was amazed by Preston. We went to the beach in the late afternoon for some swings, slide, spelling in the sand, and then back home. A short visit but it was big, as we walked into the parking lot Preston wanted to spell. He grabs his rake and starts spelling. " P R E S T O N " I ask him what that spells Preston tells me Addison. The thing is I never heard him spell his name before without help. I love him so much. j

On Thursday I was taking the dog out for a quick pee. Preston wanted to come along. So down the stairs. and out the door. As we stepped outside the rain started to come down pretty hard. I went to let her pee but Lucy had a different idea. I had to get a jacket since Lucy wanted to take her sweet time. Preston, Lucy and I went back inside to get jackets. Locking the door and letting Preston know I was running upstairs to grab jackets. I bound up the stairs, back in the house, grabbed the jackets and head back out. By this time Preston has made up the stairs, I meet him at the top of the stairs and he say " I Love You Papa ". I was so blown away. I got on my knees told him the same and gave him a big hug. A day to remember. j
