Happy 40 Month Birthday Max!
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010My dearest boy,
Just yesterday as I was putting you to sleep you turned to look at me and said, Mommy I love you so much” and you kissed my cheek. I think this explains what kind of boy you are. You are a lover. You tickle my forehead sometimes as you are falling asleep or when we wake up. I told you the other night that we are best of friends and you agreed. You always love to hear how much people love you. When I tell you that and name all of the people who love you-it can change any emotion you are having into pure joy.
You are also ALL BOY. Your teacher said that you were playing Kung Fu Panda at school and got in trouble because you were hitting a boy in his head. The boy said he liked it but the rules at montessori are NO fighting. Of course you asked Why and I tried to explain that I know you were playing but still school has those rules. You thought that was silly.
CARS, CARS and CARS from the CAr Movie. They rule your world. See you keep getting more because that is you treat for going potty-3 pees or 1 poop. Well as you can see from the first pic-the cars are increasing and they keep coming in the mail daily. It is awful cute that you and Daddy pick out the cars on the computer together. It is fun for both of you. You guys also love to watch Car Movie mini takes on You Tube.

Your speech is going great. Your teacher Marlene Belkin is so proud of you and said just this week that you have done better at this point that she expected. We are so proud of you. It has been a hard month of detox and there was a week where you were having some issues with your speech but you bounced right back. Your teachers at school feel the same-that you are doing so well. They say you are the Protector for the kids. If a kid is doing something wrong or a kid gets hurts then you step right in to try and help.
Basically we just doing a lot of playing and cuddling. You are really loving books right now and you are very interested in the Why and What of everything. It is so much fun to watch your grow and let me also say..you are such a handsome little guy. I am not just saying that because you are my son..
I have tried to explain to you a few times how special our bond is and will be forever. You and I are so similar and sometimes we bat heads but I get you and your are my first child. You are my first for everything and you have been an amazing child. You stand 38 inches tall and 35 pounds in weight. You are strong and strong willed. You are determined and curious. You love the beach and the big city. You are a great traveler and an awesome little man. You love playing soccer and you love school. Your best friends are Thomas and Bruno and you request constantly to have a party where we only eat chocolate, ice cream and cupcakes. I love you so much. I love being your mom and you have graced me with allowing mw to be that person in your life. happy Birthday my dearest boy.
Love,
Mommy

You still do not really like food but your eat lots of yogurt and banana chips. You LOVE your formula and many times I have tried to switch you to goats milk or another type of drink and you have stomach issues so for right now..until you eat more..this is what we do..lots of bottles.
You still love to cuddle, kiss and you are so very sweet. You can say Bye and wave, hi, dada, ma, dog, ba for bottle, woof, more, ban for banana and I am sure that I am missing a few. You love your brother so much and love splashing him in the water. You love watching Nemo and Shrek and laugh at the parts you think are funny. You love to shake your booty and dance to music and well you are just a ton of fun. You like to misbehave but not because you want to be bad-just because you want us to see you. You are awesome despite the fact that you refuse to sit in the cart while we are market shopping but hey-if that is the only thing..well then that is fine with me. Basically, I just love you so much and so does your entire family.
Such over due pics..my handsome boy driving his cousins car and then my little girl below…they are growing up so fast..what happened?
I know..you could eat her up..right?
And then there were more..
All is good here. We are in full force with getting the house ready to list. Max is just excited that he will have a pool to put boats in and well I am actually getting excited too.
