Matthew just asked for goldfish crackers. I buy goldfish in bulk at Costco so I keep them in a plastic container in the cupboard. Lately, Matthew has enjoyed putting the goldfish in his bowl without my help. Until today, he always put them in by the handful, but today he decided to put them in one at a time and count them as he went along. He counted to thirty-five! He did need help staying on track a few times, but I was impressed that he could do it.
Yesterday, he decided to take all the butter knives out of the dishwasher and play with them. I started to put them back while he was napping, but I couldn't find all of them. Then, as I was walking past the dining table, I saw the three missing knives - one at each place. Matthew likes to help set the table, and I guess he decided to do that with the knives.
A little while ago, Matthew found a box of envelopes in a desk drawer and pulled out all the envelopes. He calls them "bills". And asked me, "I have them?"
I just took some bedding out of the dryer and Matthew jumped up and down, saying, "Hooray! Laundries! Clothes!" Matthew is a big fan of rolling around in the clean laundry or sitting in the laundry basket while I fill it up with clothes from the dryer. Sometimes he says, "Too hot!" or calls the clothes "dresses".

He did that goldfish trick with me the other night. My favorite part was that he wasn't just haphazardly pulling goldfish out one at a time, he was pulling from different areas of the tupperware, and was very selective of which fish he grabbed.
He is a darling boy! Very smart!
