max is three!!! his birthday was a sunday, so his party was passing out treats at nursery. convenient. he loved opening presents. abe and kai both wrapped up some of their things that max covets and gave it to him. i thought it was selfless and the best kind of gifts. max opened kai's very first and was so excited we could have stopped and max would have thought it was a great day. we gave him a baseball tee and it was entertaining watching him. it says, "batter up?" and max yells, "yep!!" then whacks it so hard, we all take cover. he wanted a cake with orange frosting and baseball players. he was thrilled to help me make it. it is fun to watch him get bigger. he is very expressive and vocal. he thinks about things and it's fun to watch him process the world around him. he simply is delightful...unless it's time to get in his carseat--he either throws a fit, or he starts to make deals, such as, "me swing four times like this, then me get in." my patience level then depends on if we get through all the deals or if we simply have a few deals then a fit or just a fit. we are so happy to have our max.
