Don’t forget Max…. he turned 4

I guess this week is ‘catch up on birthdays’ time on the blog. I realized we never acknowledged Max’s birthday in December.

It would appear that Max stayed in his jammies all day… but knowing that it was a Sunday, he did go to church (not in his jammies). I guess it was a mellow day at home the rest of the day. Sunday birthdays are a bit like that. Happy Birthday little Max.

Here’s a few stats on Max from his well check:
Weight: 35 lbs (50%)
Height: 40.25 in (50%)

We went ahead and got all his kindergarten shots at his doctor’s appointment. He wasn’t extremely thrilled with all the shots… but at least they are over with for several years.

In the past year Max has done better saying sentences. He still gets a little confused between he/she. We need to work with him on pronunciation, clarity, and sentence structure, “We don’t have no milk.”

Despite struggles with communication, Max is such a great kid. He is a bit full of drama which is probably part of what makes him so lively when he is happy. “Max, are you our happy child?” “Yes… I am a happy child,” says Max with a big smile.

Max likes to play Mario on the wii. He loves when Hannah reads to him. He loves Eliza and says endearing things to her. He loves when Abe lets him play with his little legos.

Oh – and it about kills him to have to say please. Really. He usually says, “I want … etc.” “Try again,” says mother. “May I please… have some warm chocolate.” “Ahhhh… much better little Max.” It’s so hard for him, but he is learning to say please the first time.

Max is a keeper. Happy Birthday little buddy-buddy.
