I can't believe it, but my little Maximo is 4! Right now he is pretending that he is in space and that gummy bears are attacking him. He keeps calling me on his cell phone while he is flying through space on his new transformers scooter that Cassie sent him. He told me he can't move because there is hot sauce all over the ground. He is so imaginative!
Max says words like fantastic, amazing and spectacular all of the time. Today he asked me, "Do you mind if I ride my scooter now?" He is always making me laugh and his mind never stops working. He loves his cousins, aunts and uncles so much. He also has a lot of great friends in our neighborhood like Mikey, Carson, Courtney, and Ethan.
Max is constantly dressing up as every character he can imagine, including a pirate, princess, Buzz Lightyear, Iron Man, Woody, Jungle Bob, and a fireman. Lately he has been asking me for his 'two choices' if he doesn't want to do something. He says, "Give me two choices Mom. Either go play, or go to bed!" Of course, those are never the two choices I give him, but he knows how to attempt to work the system. I rarely have to get mad at him. He is the best little boy around.
He is extremely smart and can identify all of the letters in the alphabet and he knows their primary sound. He has been able to write his name since Christmas and he loves to make up songs and rock out on his air guitar in the backseat of the car. He is a sweetie and tells me I look beautiful all the time. He LOVES his little sister and always treats her very nicely. He is always very helpful and helps me keep her happy while I'm trying to clean the house or fix dinner.
Max is starting preschool in the Fall and I am a little worried about Gracie and I. How will we stay entertained in the hours he is gone? He absolutely adores his Daddy and when Mike has to leave for work Max tells him he has been 'missing him for three days' without fail, every time we talk to Mike on the phone.
There are so many things that I love about my little guy. I could go on and on all day. He is very clever and everyone tells me how much they love him! I am so proud of him and I want him to stop growing up!
Can I just say that I have the most amazing husband on the planet! I am so in love with my Mikey and, although it is cheesy, I just want him to know how grateful I am to have him in my life. He is an amazing father. Gracie and Max just adore him. We are so lucky to have him in our lives. He works so hard for our family and never complains. Never. He is so nice to everyone he meets and honors the Priesthood. I am so glad that I will be with him for all eternity!
