Another Joey

Sometimes Matt reminds me a lot of Joey...

When Joey was 3, he had a best friend, Kourtney.  They did everything together, including sitting in the front row at church holding hands.  Now, nearly every day after school, the girls line up to say good-bye to Joey.  Just today, two girls passed me, and I heard this conversation:

Girl 1: "There he is."
Girl 2: "What's his name?"
Girl 1: (lovingly) "JJJJJooooossssseeeepppphhhh."
Girl 2: "Ooooohhhhh."

His teachers have even commented on his effect on girls, and on his sweetness to them that only exacerbates the problem.

Well, we may have another Joey on our hands.

This is Matt and his best friend, Emily.


All Matt ever talks about is Emily.  When she's not around, he calls Grace "Emily", probably just to say the name.  They draw each other pictures, give each other gifts, and have playdates.  They are best friends, and I just love it.  She keeps him in line, and he actually listens to her, so I love it when she's over here.

Being 3 is just so much fun!
