MAX IS FIVE!!!

Our Max turned 5 this weekend! He was so excited to FINALLY be five, however he was NOT excited that his birthday was on Sunday this year. He looked at me with very sad eyes and said, "Is my birthday going to be on Sunday EVERY year?!" -As if it were some torture worse than death. I explained to him that it would be on a different day every year. This made him feel a little better, but he still did NOT want to celebrate it on Sunday. So we are having family over tonight to celebrate with us.

Max is such a fun little kid. He says the funniest things and talks like he is five going on 18. I don't know where he comes up with the stuff he says. He has the best laugh in the whole world and he is extremely ticklish, but if you try to tickle him he will scream at the top of his lungs, "Stop, or you'll make me pee all over you!" He loves to learn and picks things up very quickly. I'm afraid he's going to know more than I do in a couple years!

He is ALL boy. He is always up for rough housing and being noisy. He is feisty and can whip out an awe inspiring temper in 2 seconds flat! He definitely keeps me on my toes. He is so much fun.
