My Little Organizer

Like mother like son...Max entertained himself in the doctor's office today with his prized possessions. Wonder where he gets his mad organizational skillz???

And the Bendaroos have it!

We spent almost 2 hours this morning playing with Bendaroos. He sat very still with me while we made a cheeseburger, a spider, a snail, a piece of birthday cake and my attempt at a seahorse which looks more like Perry the platypus from Phineas and Ferb.

What to do on a rainy day???

Max and I are kinda stuck inside today. It's too rainy and yucky to go to the park and since I'm doing this allergy testing and can't go workout, we are entertaining ourselves at home today. First we opened up Elefun and ran around catching the butterflies that fly out (well, I caught them and Max just ran around). Then we opened up the Sesame Street Activity Center that Neal and Jana gave Max for Christmas. He got tired from jumping around so went upstairs for his "peelow" and blanket and curled up to watch Phineas and Ferb. I'm blogging now, about to clean the kitchen and the downstairs hall closet. What's up this afternoon??? Hmmmm...not sure. We may break out some Bendaroos or a cool dinasour science kit. Stay tuned...

Family Pirate Night

Tuesday night was Family Night at the clubhouse. It was pirate theme. Mistake we made was sitting right in the front "stage" area with about 50 kids running around. Max and Gavin got to do the limbo, we promptly ate and then promptly left. Too chaotic to enjoy all the festivities. Max did enjoy cutting in line and going back and forth under the limbo stick.

Cone Head or Rocket Ship?? You decide...

Big Boy Swim Class

While we have mixed feelings about being in the new Big Boy Swim Class because his best little friend Victoria isn't in it with him anymore, he managed to rally this morning and did AWESOME!!! He left his flippers on the entire class, even wore goggles which I can't get him to put on to save my life. Plus, he was doing actual swim strokes - kickin' and pullin' - all the way across the pool!! If it was allowed, I think he would stay underwater the entire class. He did keep asking where Victoria was though so we will have to schedule a playdate with her soon!

And another big milestone - MAX IS ABOUT 99.9% POTTY TRAINED!!! He's doing a great job about telling us when he has to go and has even gone by himself a couple of times. Dry diapers in the morning and dry/clean clothes all the way around.

The Underwear Fireman

Still in the midst of potty training, Max runs around in his "Lightming Queen" undies and LOVES, LOVES, LOVES his fireman rain boots!
