Saturday we took Matthew to the Irvine Railroad Park to meet up with friends for the Easter Eggstraveganza. The kids were so excited! They were adorable!
Matthew could hardly wait to find those candy filled eggs!
My handsome little bubba!
We went with several people but Matthew really stuck close to Natalie. When she got in our car to go there, he said "Natawie, you are butiful". :)
I think the highlight for him was riding the horses. It makes us so excited to try hippotherapy this summer. He is such an animal lover and I am hoping he really benefits from it.

Matthew has always been a person who does things in his own time. For a few months Mark has been trying to talk him into agreeing to remove the training wheels from his bike, to which he adamantly refused. Out of the blue Saturday he asked Mark to take them off. Said he wants to ride with two wheels now. We went to my mom's house and decided to give it a try.
He had no fear, was determined and in 15 minutes was up on the bike and riding with no support.
We were so proud of him~ Here is the video.
Matthew, you never cease to amaze us. We are so proud of you. You give your 100% at everything you do.
I am almost afraid to say it but I think we may have finally found the right medication for him. He has been so much more relaxed and less agitated. I can see that he is so much happier and almost back to his sunny, vibrant self. It is hard to see him dis-regulated, poor little guy feels terrible and it isn't fair. I would do anything to make it easier for him.
Matthew, we love you more than words can say, you have taught us so much and we are grateful that we get to be mom and dad to you!
