It has been a fun past few days so lots of photos to post. Matthew went to a birthday party Thursday night but my camera died after about 5 minutes but I did have these photos that I thought were so cute of my little man. I can't resist that smile!
Saturday, once it cooled off a bit we went to Boomers with our friends the Raos for some fun with the kids.
Is it me or does Matthew always look mischievous?
Look at those smiles!
We had fun and went back for the Rao home for a delicious dinner while the kids played. A wonderful and relaxing evening.
***********
On Sunday we headed over to Pretend City after social skills to check it out with some friends.
WOW!
Very well put together and you could literally spend hours there. It is literally like a little city with a bank, restaurant, grocer store, beach, post office, house, movie theater, roads to drive cars on, etc. with tons of activities.
The first stop was one of Matthew's favorite...the grocery store.

He had fun running around collecting food
Checking out the "frozen foods" and paying the cashier.
Out sweet buddy Zachary!
The had a cute little 2 bedroom house with a kitchen, tv room and bathroom with dress up clothes. Matthew came out in these red pumps and said "Look Mommy! I find new fwip fwops!" We laughed so hard because he did not want to take then off and walks better in heels than I do.
Washing windows and filling the gas
Picking apples and going through an ATM drive though....yes, the ATM dispenses play money!
Brenna got face paint...doesn't she look adorable!
Cupcakes with Brenna and Riley make any outing even better!
They had a little restaurant with a back kitchen, counter for ordering and place to eat.
They had a little beach too. My Matthew, always the sensory seeker.
There were plenty of chances to dress up too and drive around the city in cars. Kind of funny because the pedestrian cars were mostly BMWs.
Don't mess with Officer Sumida
And then it was time to go home. Overall, the kids had a great time and Matthew is already asking to return. Matthew loved it though due the crowds and noise level he did go into overload mode a bit. He is very sound and light sensitive and too much sensory (visual and auditory) can be a little overwhelming. I realize how far he has come as this type of stimulation would have sent him into orbit last year. Mark and I are enjoying new and fun experiences with Matthew this year that would not have been an option for us in the past. .

What a great children's museum. Love the blog too. Matthew is getting so big.
Wow Sylvia! I can tell by the pictures that Matthew has improved SO MUCH! There is so much light in his eyes and interaction in his pictures! I am so happy to see him doing so well.
Keep up the good work mama!
