we had an impromptu visit from uncle matthew. he and donovan have not seen each other since christmas so it was a pretty big deal. i was interested to see if full introductions would need to be made or if donovan would sense family blood. it turns out that donovan seems to have a pretty good family blood sniffer because he seemed to remember matthew.
we had a good time just hanging out. usually when matthew comes to town there is quite a bit of running around we need to do in order for him to see everyone. this time he stayed at our house and so everyone came to us. he helped watch donovan while dan and i worked and helped me interview nannies for the big guy. he even helped to attend to donovan while donovan proceeded to have his worst night on the books in a restaurant.
growing up with matthew i do not remember him being physical with me as an older broth
er, but i do remember being mentally harassed by him. he loved to be scared by people and loved to scare others. donovan had his first encounter of this when matthew scared our dog and donovan was caught in the crossfire which ensued a full out running place scream fit from donovan. i am afraid donovan is going to have it tough with uncle matthew because although matthew loves him very much i think he likes a reaction even more. maybe he will send his nephew a "make-up" ipad to smooth things over.these 2 videos were filmed while uncle matthew was in town, and then the were published on youtube....and i just realized it. he is sneaky.
