Max is FOUR!

Birthdays are for celebrating another year of life and since I became a mom it always takes me back to their actual "birth" day.  Max's birthday was nerve-wracking but exciting. Nothing went as planned that day. Most of our family was at the hospital that day, but I really only remember bits and pieces. My fist night with Max was a blur, but the next day.....I was filled with love....and I have been ever since!!

Max's 4th birthday was pretty awesome. When he woke up I surprised him with a ship and Jake & the Neverland Pirates figurines. He was pretty excited! I read him his card, but he didn't pay much attention to my sappy words. I'll save the card for him though :)

I wanted to make a special breakfast, so I made chocolate chip oatmeal pancakes. They were pretty good, but the kids just wanted Eggos!! Go figure!! Here is a picture of them pretty grossed out at the thought of eating it.

We went to the gym as usual and the got to play with friends. After we went to a yummy burger  joint named Husky's. We went with the playgroup. The kids had a blast playing with friends, especially their BFF Leah. We went to keep the party going over at Andrea and Leah's after to decorate cupcakes. We let Max pick dinner that night and he picked.......Chick Fil A. It was a great day and Max was so well behaved this day which was icing on the cake!

Here they are running around in their Mario shirts

Maddie loves birthdays!! LOL

Today I took cupcakes to Max's school to celebrate with friends. He loves me coming to the school and I love to see him and all his friends. The kids usually get to wear a birthday hat on their big day, but Ms. Sarra said Max doesn't like to wear the hats. So she made him a birthday bracelet.

About Max at Four:

He goes to pre-school 2 days a week and he is a great student. He listens to his teachers and is a good friend. He likes to role play in the kitchen, play blocks and practice using his scissors. He likes talking about his friends and always talks about going to their houses. He can write is name, and sometimes writes it like a mirror image. He still loves CARS, but now is really into Super Mario Bros. and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. He loves running and playing chase. He has a pretty good appetite lately, but can still be picky sometimes. He listens pretty well, but sometimes will go to time out. Him and his sister are either playing well or fighting  but they love each other very much. He also likes to play on the iPad. He and Shawn are really spending time together doing "guy" stuff. Max will literally spend all day outside helping Shawn with projects or running or running to home depot. Of course he loves having me tuck him in at night. I love the night time because he loves to cuddle and be sweet. He wants me to read "The Magic School Bus At the Waterworks" every single night and requests that I sing "Twinkly, Twinkle Little Star". He is such a sweet little boy, we love him so much and are blessed to see him grow everyday!
