The Muffin Man

Max's Friday had a rocky beginning when the car would not start; after demanding "mommy drive", he suggested that he drive his own red car to his summer camp.   Eventually Max made it to camp, but his beloved sippy cup did not (it wound up in the street during a chaotic car transfer), yet he survived on his new big-boy cup drinking skills.  The morning's excitement led to Max's first no-tantrum nap in weeks, which was much appreciated.   Before his nap, however, he requested that mommy cut the nails on his feet.  Procrastination tactic, perhaps, but certainly hilarious.  The comedy show continued during bathtime when Max decided that the new rubber mat in the tub was a diving board.  The real diving board may prove safer than bathtub diving.  

Max's "cupcake" supply was running low, so after camp he whipped up some more; just don't tell him that he made zucchini muffins.  He loves helping in the kitchen and drags a chair over to the counter anytime he sees cooking action.
