This picture sums up Max...he's a fireball!
He used to be scared of the shower...but this week he ventured in the shower with me and now it's a must ever time I shower. Hmmm...maybe I shouldn't have encouraged this! My showers USED to be my guaranteed "me" time! LOL
Silly shower boy!

Max...Max...Max!
What can I say?! This one keeps me on my toes and keeps me laughing just as much!
He is so much fun and definitely a TWO year old!
Wow, he's really changing daily and every day he picks up a few new words or even teaches me something new about himself. He's wonderful and it's so fun to look at the world through 2 year old glasses!
Here are some of his most recent common phrases:
"Go seep!" (go sleep - and he says this while pointing at me...so demanding!)
"More Apple Juice Peese"
"Where'd Papa go, Mama?"
"I home!"
"Mama, I try!"
"No crying"
"Sucker Peese?!!!" (suckers are special treats he gets when he gets his haircut, but his papa has snuck him a few on occassion...those papas!
"All done"
"I help, Mama"
I know there are lots more, but I can't think right now.
We've been practicing our letters, colors, and animal sounds lately. His favorite letters are, "H", "O", and "I" for some reason. He points them out in signs when he sees them. Hearing him make animal sounds is hilarious!
Max is pretty much under me all day. He loves for me to involve him in things whether it be cleaning, or cooking...anything really. He just likes to feel like he's helping. He's so independant, yet doesn't like to play alone still.
He's getting better about Miles. Within the past few weeks he will occassionally talk to him or hand him a toy or his binkie...or take one away with a , "No, baby! My car!"...it will be nice when they are old enough to play together. Miles just adores Max and smiles at him all the time. Max thinks its funny when Miles is screeching...so he likes to join in. That makes for a lovely dinner time. :)
Max and I are going to ECFE "2's and 3's class" every Wednesday for 2 hours. This was our 4th week. We have playtime together, then circle time with the group when we sings songs and listen to a story, then snack and parent time (and the kids play). Well, Max is still not too fond of seperating. The 1st week he cried the entire parent time, the 2nd week he was held by one of the teachers the entire time and only cried initally, and last week and this time he cried initially...calmed down after briefly being held by a teacher and then stood in one spot for the remainder of the time (that's my stubborn boy!). Every week I see him enjoying the time more and more...so hopefully he'll start playing with the other kids soon.
He's my little errand buddy...he loves to go "bye bye" with Papa or me. I usually go grocery shopping or run errands with Max when Miles is napping and Brad is working from home. It's nice to get the one on one time with him.
I've been off and on struggling with meal time with Max and I thought he just didn't want to be bothered with food, but a little over a week ago we stopped giving him a sippy cup to run around the house with. I bought him cute little monster plates and cups and have him drink from a cup that we keep at the table for him and he started eating better. We realized that he was filling up on liquids from keeping his sippy full, rather than eating. DUH! I can't believe it didn't hit me sooner!
Anyway...although there are moments that I would love to ring this little boy's neck...he is my little monkey and he keeps me laughing every day! I couldn't ask for more and I wouldn't change him!
