MAX TURNED A BIG 5!!!
he was so excited for his birthday!
i realized he had never had a friend birthday party, so despite being super pregnant, i decided this was the year. we decided to invite the kids in his preschool class and a few cousins and have a "BIG" party, since he is now a BIG five years old. this is a picture of his invitations.
we tried to make everything BIG. he had a big #5 cake that he wanted to look like a road. we added some huge candles and he was thrilled. we played some big games and opened presents. he gave everyone a huge bottle of bubbles to take home that said, "blowing you a BIG thank you! from, max"
it was a low-key party and he LOVED it.
abe and kai were so excited to buy him presents and totally splurged all their money on him. they did it so unselfishly. it was a happy moment for me as a mom.
other max updates: he still loves penguins.
he had tennis lessons this year and is really good!
he loves preschool and teaches or explains things to me constantly. it is always followed with, "get it, mom?" i must hear that ten times a day. he is a feeler and is really in tune with every one's feelings around him. one day i dropped kai off to school. kai was walking down the hall and i said, "kai...kai, see ya buddy." or something like that. kai was probably embarrassed and completely ignored it and walked into his classroom. max looked at me concerned and said, "sometimes i don't hear people when they are really close to me. kai just probably didn't hear you, so it's ok mom." he was trying to make sure i didn't feel bad. he is a joy to have around! he really likes our new house, wii wednesdays, and having dave home from work.
oh yeah!! and max learned to ride a two wheeler. he kept asking to try and it took him about ten minutes to get the hang of it. he loves going on bike rides in our new neighborhood.
