Now I know Max has always been my "hand-full" child. I never knew it would just keep going. Here are just a few things he's been up to: (and they're not all bad)
- He loves weapons...guns, swords, knives, ropes...anything he can swing, hit, stab, shoot. (We're talking toys, of course. The day he's old enough to have a pocket knife will be the day he moves out of my house!)
- He loves quarters and pennies. Any change, really. He will hold it in his hand all day. He won't let it go or put it down. Even at night when he's sleeping. Same with his weapons actually. Lately he's been sleeping with a quarter and 2 dimes, a sword and a pistol (that he is "borrowing" from Holden).
- He gets really frustrated. When he does, he makes this awful growling which sounds a lot like the Hulk. Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't have let him watch that with us...
- He is practically potty trained. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought he'd catch on this fast. And what's even better, he decided he wanted to. I didn't even push it at all. Although he likes to tease me and spread his legs apart and say, "Mom, I'm peein'." Which causes me to shriek and grab him as I run him to the potty. He usually tells me when he has to go. :)
- He will drink water from anywhere. The street gutter, the swimming pool, the bath tub, the dish water.
- If he wakes up and I'm not there, he will come find me. He doesn't cry and whine the way Lukas does. He just finds me and crawls into bed wherever I am. And when we are in the same bed, he has to be touching me. If he's not, he wakes up to again find where I am.
- Whenever I give him a treat, he always asks me to give him one for Lukas. I will give him a sour patch kid and he'll say, "Where's one for Lukas?" And if Lukas isn't doing what we're doing, he'll ask, "But what's Lukas doing? Where is he?"
- He is obsessed with the drain in our street. It's right in front of Whitney's house and she is always saying, "Don't throw anything down there." So what does he do? Whatever is in his hands, he will throw it down there. Even his beloved sword and pistol. (Both of which we retrieved for him. How whipped are we?? Duh.) He has stripped naked and thrown his underwear down there. He likes to throw rocks down there, too. Poor fish and ocean.\
- He loves baby Hadlie (Whitney's baby). He loves to touch her little baby feet and he will kiss her and want to touch her face. I've never seen him act like this with something smaller than him. He talks in a sweet voice and will say cute things to her. Hmmm, maybe I could have another baby...?
- He knows where my chocolate is stashed and he will share it with everyone around. And he prefers the dark chocolate (I stash both in my bedside table.)
- He thinks there are buttons on his shoes, that if he pushes, will make him go faster. Sonic fast.
- He whails on his older brother. He is tough and Lukas screams like a girl when he comes after him. He'll take him down in seconds if there is conflict.
- He will laugh at any word that has to do with going potty. And he says them constantly. Everything is "poop".
- He fell asleep with a grape in his cheek. It was stiking out like a little chipmunk. It was hilarious.
- He loves to take showers with his brother and one time dumped mommy's economy size body wash down the drain.
- He peed and pooped all over the floor at IKEA and Pat cleaned it up! Gross!
- He can be so sweet and loves to give kisses and gives good hugs.
- He will open his car door after he's been buckled if we don't lock it first.
- He loves to eat just like his dad.
- He likes to dance on command.
- He is very curious and gets into everything.
- He almost peed in the ac vent on the floor (luckily Mommy caught him before it was too late!)
- He is good at showing his reverent mode (Daddy did an FHE on how to be reverent).
