Max 4/12

Max at 4 1/2 is all of these things:

silly, big hearted, funny, giggly, caring, loud, clumsy, always laughing or whining (there really is no in-between,) always asking questions, trying to keep up with Anderson, picky eater, social, loves to play, loves to "watch something" like Wild Kratts or YouTube on my phone, cannot live without Monkey (specifically Monkey's tag,) loves to read books, LOVES to make messes, loves to take baths to play with all of his animals in the tub, is such a class clown and always tries to make people laugh, is positive and sees so much good in his days. 

Also, according to him, he can see better when the lights are out because he night vision that was put in his eyes when he had ear infection surgery. So many perks. 

In short, we love him and are so grateful that he is ours. 

He lives for Show & Tell at school. He is still working on associating things with letter sounds but is getting better each week. 

He is really into dinosaurs right now and loves playing with them, saying their names, reading about them and acting like them. He thinks he is dressing like a paleontologist when he wears his vest and Ninja Turtle hat. 

Another week, another dinosaur. 

He does not love the going to school part of the process, but always does love it once he is there. 

He does LOVE the building things and we have hoarded a lot of the Home Depot pins. 

His class had an assignment to disguise a turkey and parents were told to "be as creative as possible" and "feel free to help your child as much as they need." Seriously. STOP THE MADNESS!

He wanted to do a military turkey so we spent AN ENTIRE WEEK doing it. 

Literally, he glued an eyeball or one feather each night and I basically had to bribe him with a popsicle to do each part. 

Noni & Bop took him to Chick-Fil-A one night when Anderson/Brandon were at football and I was at AE football. 

His favorite thing of all is making HUGE messes. 

He also loves whining a bit...

Perhaps the thing that he hates the most is when we have to drive on the interstate because his car seat is on the side with the wall between the lanes and he HATES it. I mean, it causes so much anger in his heart. Everytime we get in the car the first question he asks is, "Do we have to go on the interstate??" 

Most of all, he LOVES Anderson and basically worships him. Whenever he gets excited about something, he cannot wait to show/tell Anderson. They fight 99.9% of the time (one of them is very intense and it dictates all things....) but they really do love each other and I love watching them as brothers. 

This kid is SO lucky because he gets to spend Mondays playing at his GGs in his underwear.

He also gets to play in his undwear at Noni's!

He LIVES FOR making messes and I prefer them to be outside. Luckily, he does not notice when it is 22 degrees outside.
