Dear Max,

Happy 3rd birthday. It has been a month of gifts. Hanukkah started last friday and since then there has been a gift a night not to mention the gifts that have arrived from family and friends. As you can see by the pic above, this is what you have  looked like everyday and it has not stopped. You asked for presents and gifts constantly and today I actually had to say that soon there will be no gifts for a year. I guess it is a tough concept to explain because then you cried for 40 mins. I guess today was not the day to say that or explain that you have it REALLY good.

Today is your official birthday and we celebrated with your family. We were supposed to have your big party at Bouncetown but the snow storm of 2009 wrecked our plans. So it snowed and you had a ton of fun yesterday playing in the snow, so I guess that was a pretty cool way to start the birthday weekend. As for me, I shed some tears because I had done all the planning and wanted you to have such a fun day but I let it go by 7:30 am and then just enjoyed the day. So in total we got about 22 inches or more and it was the first time you ever saw this much snow and thankfully I bought you snow gear this year-but forgot boots so you wore rain boots that your MIMI bought you. I am am mom and moms tend to forget at least one thing. You shoveled snow with your dad three times and we went sledding for as long as you and your sister could handle it..about 45 mins and then came inside and ate some muffins.

You are chatting up a storm and saying the funniest things. Your aunt told you the other day that you are handsome and you said, I KNOW! I cracked up laughing. You are still a jokester and love to make people laugh. You love to play games and play little tricks on people and then say..JUST KIDDING. You are funny and really enjoy being the center of attention when you are comfortable. You can now break dance or at least that is what we call  it-I guess you could also call it the happy dance. Daddy showed you the move at the end where you hold you arms across your body and almost hug yourself like all the break dancers did and you look so cute doing it.

You love school and you are learning so much being there. I am amazed daily. You told me NO THANK YOU the other day when i asked about if you wanted a burger for lunch. You are learning so much at Montessori school, basically how to be a good person in the world and how to love yourself and others.

You are still very tender and very loving. I am so lucky that you are this sweet. You are such an amazing big brother. You love to cuddle, snuggle, kiss, hug but you are also ALL boy. You love trucks, airplanes, trains, helicopters, balls, and anything that can crash into something. You love football and of course you love the EAGLES, Phillies home team. You are enjoying dressing up as  super heros these days and astronauts (our current costumes in the house). As of right now, Bob the Builder rules in your mind..Curious George still has a place in your heart and you sleep with a stuffed anaimal curious george but Bob is the best!

It has been an interesting month with doing the amy yasko protocol. I have been detoxing your gut and supplementing your organs to protect them from the detox. I am even giving you B12 shots in your butt and you are doing great. You are detoxing but you are still smiling. You speech teacher thinks you have 600 words, which is amazing since you said 0 words in March 2009. I just adore you and so does your Dad. You are loved by so many people and so many people say that you are so special and handsome of course. Just don’t ever stop exploring. I love that you always want to find out the answer. Don’t stop looking. I love you kiddo!

Love, Mommy
