This was a Jekyll and Hyde kind of weekend. By day, the sun was shining and Max was laughing, talking, singing, and playing happily. But by night, he morphed into a colicky newborn, waking every two hours and only falling asleep after hours of being cradled and rocked. While "cry-it-out" does not work on boy who straddles the side of the crib, there has been no shortage of crying. These newborn nights have been creeping up all week but this weekend's nights were especially sleepless, not to mention the days nap-less. But despite his (and mine and David's) lack of consecutive sleep, Max was in a terrific mood all day and cracked us up with his ridiculous orders, such as "I coaching, daddy shoot!", and saying "ready, set, go" before we go down the slide together. If only he would take one big order, and finally go to sleep.

Max does Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras carnival
Max did great at the games that required him to throw a ball, but he cheated at the duck fishing game. Who fishes for ducks anyway?

Daddy's biggest fan
Max went to his first full Varsity basketball game tonight. The game and Max were full of excitement, but despite an awesome effort by the team, Oakton did not win. Max, however, made it through the whole game, and stayed up until a record-breaking 9:30pm!

Valentine's love
Max had a lot to love this Valentine's Day! He had yet another snow day off from school, a trip to Kidz Plaza (which may be the greatest play place so far!), a balloon-filled, cupcake and chocolate covered strawberry birthday party, and of course, tons of hugs for Pawley and kisses from mommy and daddy!

"Hi snowman"
Max et al were to cold to go outside but enjoyed the view from the warm kitchen window

Opposite night
Max was so hilarious tonight. As per his new usual, he had no interest in dinner, however he was obsessed with taking a bath. He hopped up from the table, marched upstairs, and ran his bath. But he did have a change of heart and came down in his pjs for dinner. Based on the weather forecast he will be eating all of his meals in pjs tomorrow!
"I like fire truck"
Proudly looking at his completed puzzle. Mommy likes it, too!

"I like school"
Max said, "I like school", in the car this morning; music to a mom's ears! But since Max LOVES basketball we went to a game after school.

Monkey Max
Max had a blast at Monkey Joes- a savior for stir crazy kids in a never ending winter. He jumped, drummed, dunked, and, when he ran out of tokens, watched other kids dunk.
