Bubble boy

On your mark, get set, go!

Max raced to take advantage of his mom's Teacher Appreciation Day deal at Chipotle. After dinner, he just raced.  And raced. And raced. 

Waiting for Sadie

...to come down the slide!

Sunday fun

Max loves Sadie (and Pawley) so much that he sang a song about it.

The lady at the bagel store already knows Max's newest order by heart- everything bagel with butter.

Scaling the rock wall

Swim school

If you ask Max, he would tell you that he knows how to swim.  But since he really does not, he started swim lessons today. Of course he loved it!  He also loved the ice cream truck, and "Easter bunny" ice cream pop he had this afternoon.  Max only managed to eat about 10% of the bunny before it melted into his hands, leaving a bright blue ring around his smiling mouth.

Cheerios make Max smile on an early morning grocery run.

Eagerly awaiting his first swim lesson

Get me in there!

I want this one.

Yum!

Patriotic performer

Max loves to read and sing; today he did a lot of both.  First thing this morning he climbed out of bed, took Pawley to his rocking chair, and read his new favorite (free give-away) book, Click, Clack, Moo- Cows that Type.  It was tough to interrupt the sound of Max repeating "click, clack, moo" over and over again.

Max requested to go to Town Center after school.  He put on an excellent show on the car ride over, proudly belting out the Star Spangled Banner, complete with a well deserved self-ovation.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIBzJSiucZg

On your mark, get set, go!  Max made new friends at the Town Center and they raced across the pavilion a dozen times.  Max's runner stance was priceless! 

Max has been working on his dribbling skills and it is paying off!

Morning reading session 

Fresh (and dry!) air

Max was happy to get outside to play after being stuck inside by torrential rains 

Chasing the neighborhood Pawley 

When we were in New York a few weeks ago, Max helped Pa and Uncle use duct tape to secure foam on the sharp edges of the coffee table.  He was quite pleased with his tape job, pointing to it frequently and proudly bragging, "I made that!".  Today, Max spotted this duct tape on the playground and immediately exclaimed, "I made that at Gamma's house!".  That General has some memory.

I brush teeth!

As soon as Max wakes up in the morning he runs out of his room and makes a mad dash to brush his teeth.  Here is to good habits!

I like pizza pie

Spring league ball

Max could not be happier to be back at a basketball game

Max must have learned about the letters Q, R, S today because he kept asking me, "How do you spell qrs?" and trying to write it down. 

Another day, another bounce house

Max woke up bright and early this morning so that he would have plenty of time to play at Clemyjontri Park.  Waiting for the carousel to open was rough, but arriving early helped us get a great parking spot. 

Max loves Chipolte 

Max was first in line when the horses woke up at 9:30 am

Max spotted his friend from school 

Bouncing birthday bash

Max had a blast bouncing and sliding at Emma's 2nd birthday party.  The weather was spectacular and he left with two balloon creations- a Pawley and a sword to "pow pow".  

We went to the playground after nap and Max was extremely excited to change into "daddy's shorts".  Unlike the boxers he tried on the other night, these shorts were actually his, but they certainly do look familiar.

Max's favorite food group- cupcakes.

Daddy's shorts!

Rain rain

Max happily sang, "Rain, rain, go away" while it poured this afternoon.  When we left the mall tonight he asked, "Where did the rain rain go?"

Max does not care that it is raining! It's Friday! 

Daddy picked out some Kevin Durant Nikes for Max 

Twins

Is Max ready to go right from diapers to boxers? They are a little too big. 

Good day sunshine

Farmers Market Wednesdays are back!

The farmers market re-opened today so Max braved the insane winds to sink his teeth into a few apples and see some old friends. 

Yankee hat

Max asks for his Yankee hat every morning.  He likes to wear a hat just like his daddy.  

He was also very funny this evening in the bath.  "Swimming" in the bath has become common, but tonight Max told me he needed a swim diaper.  That would have been helpful when he went number two in the tub last week, but probably not necessary every night. 

Wild man on wheels

Max was entranced watching the older girls ride scooters at the playground this afternoon.  He joined in the fun, but unfortunately none of the girls were wearing helmets, so Max naturally refused his.  With both parents running along side (and holding on to him), he was almost completely protected, but still fell and scrapped his finger.  Max hates band aids, so instead he complained about his injured thumb all night, and jammed it in the face of everyone on our block.   Maybe next time he will wear a helmet- on his thumb.
