Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2006. Mattie used to like going to one particular grocery store with us because at this store they gave children free sugar cookies and balloons. Since Mattie HATED chocolate, he truly appreciated the sugar cookies. He felt that someone understood his needs and tastes! He was really funny on that front. As you can see Mattie loved balloons and he would carry them around with him throughout the day. It did not matter how often he got a balloon. To him they were all special and he loved receiving one!
