**Mom footnotes: A few extras about Mathew.

*Even mention the fact that he makes you laugh and he'll collapse in a giggle fit. It truly is infectious.

*He's an incredible reader. He rarely lets me read to him anymore because he wants to do it.

*He likes to make this clicking sound with his tongue on the side of his mouth and give you a thumbs up at the same time. It's hilarious.

*He can snap super loud and does it during the prayer at anyone who's peeking.

*He's crazy about a good backscratch.

* One time when we were in the grocery store, we were passing by a Latino family and he said "Hola, Ninos!".

I can't think about him without laughing.


I love you, Maf!
