So Matthew was a ring bearer at a wedding this last weekend. (Not a “ring bear” as he originally supposed.)

Matthew acted his age, which is appropriate. After walking down the aisle quietly to the music he announced loudly, “I made it all the way down here.” He continued to talk until the moment he was supposed to sit down. At this point I indicated that we would have to go down to the church basement if the talking continued. It continued. In the church basement he outfoxed me and managed to sneak back in the back of the church. When I got him in my arms again he shouted out, “Let go you evil beast!” This was entirely improvisational and unrehearsed, although frankly I felt Matthew was working the crowd at this point.

We went for a walk outside the church until the ceremony was over.
