Michael and Matthew are so different in so many ways. Michael will still at this point of over 4 1/2 fall asleep in the car and be trasnferred to a stroller and stay asleep for hours. He will also fall asleep in a shopping cart in BJ’s, or HomeGoods, and stay asleep if it is noisy, etc.
Matthew will fall asleep in the car for 10 minutes and instantly wake up if we stop at a Red Light. Michael has always been a great kid to trasnfer and would fall asleep in the noisiest of places!! Matthew has always been the opposite, but Matthew will take an over 3 hour nap in his crib, which he loves and he is a great sleeper at night. He will sleep for over 13 hours most nights and will stay in his crib playing with his toys and puppies until 9:30 many mornings.
Matthew loves mac n’ cheese, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, crackers, cherrios, peanut butter puffs, and apples and peaches. He also loves ice cream, and cake and will eat cake and frosting, whereas Michael only likes icing. Matthew will point out what he wants in Starbucks and will repeat muffin when you ask him if he wants a muffin. He will sit in the high chair there and eat the whole muffin and then say, more, more….
He tries to imitate almost every word we say, such as animal sounds, things we see, etc. He loves babies and when he sees a child his age, he says baby and has a big smile on his face.
