All About Max

In honor of his third birthday today, here is a post dedicated to the things that make him uniquely Max.



His favorite color is yellow and his favorite animal is the giraffe. In our house, we are constantly asking which came first, yellow or the giraffe. To this day, we still don't know if Max likes giraffes because they are yellow or the color yellow because it's the color of the giraffe.

He has three security items...coo-coo, coo-coo and snuggie. Yes, I know there are two coo-coos, but hey, they are his so I guess he can name them whatever he wants.

Coo-coo, coo-coo and snuggie go everywhere. And they are a set, to they usually go everywhere together. Thank goodness he's content to leave them in the car.

He's very mechanical and loves to build things.

He's also my helper and is the first one to pick things up when it's clean-up time.

His favorite tv show is Dora the Explorer. We don't know why. Thanks goodness for Boots or we'd be worried.

He loves all things having to do with art. Stickers will entertain him for hours. He also loves to paint on real watercolor paper when he goes to his Babbie's house.

He is very literal. If you say, "How's my little monkey?" Max will say, "I'm not a monkey, I'm Max!"

He's deathly afraid of the dark and monsters. He sleeps with two nightlights, a lamp and his closet light on. He also brings most of his stuffed animals into his bed as protection against the monsters.

He adores his big brother and follows him around constantly.

He has a smile that usually gets him what he wants. Shame on me, but I just can't resist.

Happy Birthday Max. No matter how big you get, you will always be my baby. You have delighted me since you were born and you grow more special to me each and every day. I pray that God will watch over you and protect you and that you will continue to grow in your knowledge and love of Him. I'm so proud of the boy that you are and can't wait to see the man that you will become.
