"I'm up!"
Yes, we know. Lovely to see the General burst out of his room at 6 am after another late, wild night.

End of an era
Max may have slept through Derek Jeter's last at bat, but he made up for that with plenty of post - nap viewings. He also loved Bernie Williams's rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame", and played right along with the man who shares both of his passions- baseball and guitar.
We also went to a nature event where Max bravely held a huge green caterpillar and got a book about mosquitos (perfect reading material for the boy covered in bug bites). After seeing the insects, Max begged to go to the farm, so we went to Frying Pan Park where he saw (and made sound effects) all of his favorite barnyard pals.
Watching Jeter's last at bat
"I want to see the boy [Jeter's nephew]"
Max was inspired by Bernie Williams's tribute to Derek Jeter
Max said that [The Very Hungry] catepillar would turn into a butterfly. Thank you, Eric Carle.
"I can ride the horse when I'm older"
Max remembers everything he is told. But he doesn't always do everything he is told...
Even cows go potty
So happy to see all of the animals
Bunny rabbit!

RE2PECT
Max and daddy had a Derek Jeter viewing party after school today. To commemorate the Captain's last game at Yankee Stadium, they watched Jeter's tear-jerking walk off hit and the clip of his nephew tipping his cap, dozens of times.

Knick Knack-in-training
Max loves playing his guitar more than ever now that he has a strap to wear it around his neck just like Mr. Knick Knack. He has been complaining that his guitar is too heavy to play and dance around with at the same time. Pretty typical two-year old problem. "I want a neck one", he often asks/whines/begs. Clearly he did need the "neck one" because once the guitar was around his neck he was a non stop music maker and would barely take five to eat dinner.

Happiness with Harry
Max had a great Monday, because even though he had the sniffles, he got to ride on Harry the dinosaur.

Halftime show
The first thing Max said when he woke up this morning was, "My guitar is fixed!". This is true, thanks to Jake's daddy, Richie, who was greeted at our door yesterday by, "My guitar is broken". It will need to be repaired again shortly if Max continues to step on it between sets.

Max on the metro
Max took his first metro ride today; he was excited to finally go on the new train line that he kept seeing from the car.
Long walk to the train
Front row for a concert at Tyson's
King me!
Max really wanted to see "the man" [who was driving the train], so at each stop we changed cars until we got to the front where he could see the conductor.
Max was about to climb out of bed during nap, but fell asleep just in time.
Max could hardly wait to eat his love cake for breakfast. He completed the breakfast experience by wearing his chef hat.
Who knew Tyson's mall had so many fun things to do?

Love cake
Max does not have the attention span to be fully addicted to the tube, but he does have a few favorite shows. He likes to watch the same episodes of "The Pawley Show" (Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood) and "The Monkey Show" (Curious George) over and over. He especially loves the Pawley Show episode where Daniel Tiger makes his mom banana bread in a heart pan. Max (and mommy) knows every line, so we recreated the "love cake" tonight. The show does a great job of emphasizing that the hardest part of making banana bread is waiting for it to bake. Unfortunately, that message did not resonate with Max tonight. He desperatly tried to eat the raw batter and demanded his "love cake" well before it was ready.

Morning selfie
Someone was a little tired after not going to sleep until 10:00pm. And waking for milk at 5:00am. Actually, more than one person was pretty tired after that.

The pumpkin did not bounce so well, but the stem makes a nice keepsake.

Sunday football/basketball/soccer ball
With his [daddy's] gym bag full of gear, Max headed to Oakton and played all of his favorite games in the beautiful pre-autumn sun.
Let's play balls!
Max loves the Elmo alphabet game, mostly because, "A is for astronaut". It is especially fun to play while dressed in an astronaut suit. Obviously.

Show time!
Max had a fantastic time at his first show- Sesame Street Live! When he woke up this morning and found out he was going to see Bert, Ernie, and the Count, he jumped up and down [on his bed] with excitement. He was great during the trip to Baltimore and held his ticket during the hour drive. "I need my ticket for the show, mommy," he repeated.
"Everybody!!"
Dancing in the aisles was encouraged and immensely enjoyed!
Lunch at Di'Pasquales- the first resturant (and public place!) that Max ever went to
The big boy in his big bed looks so sweet when he surrenders to sleep. Mission accomplished after 45 minutes and one temper tantrum- best night in a long time.
The long car ride was completely worth it! Max was positively mezmorized during the first act and after intermission he danced like crazy in the aisles.
To cap it all off, Max ended one of the best Saturdays with one of the better bedtimes.

Max at bat
Max only wants to play with his Uncle Jordan ball. Mommy is on [20 feet in front of] the pitchers mound and behind the camera. Multitasking at its finest!
