This Modern World could not be more brilliant this fine Monday morning. And completely unrelated to that other than the fact that’s it’s not a phantom of lost anything, Max is too great. His little self slept in this morning and didn’t make a peep until I was getting ready to leave. He usually wakes […]

The Terrible Twos
They’re a myth, I swear. Whenever people ask me how old Max is, I always tell them the truth and with pride say, “He’s TWO.” Every single time, they say, “Oh yeah, the terrible twos.” I have to correct them every time. Max isn’t terrible at two. He’s great. He had two rough weeks right […]
Little Singing Sensation
Max is two. He’s my son. So, use that information however you need to in order to process this story. Max has been singing a lot lately. Jen got him this little music set with a tambourine, two maracas and a little clapper thing. Max has taken to beating on the tambourine and singing a […]
Halloween Max
Max went trick-or-treating for the first time last night, and had a ball. Jen took him around our block and hit a dozen or so houses. Then, I took him over to my family’s house, and he hit a few more. He was more interested in handing out candy and playing with his Uncle Steve. […]
Jen’s dad made it here
Jen’s dad made it here safely. Max put on quite a show for his Grandpa, making a mess at dinner, running around the house naked after his bath and saying “Bye!” to everyone and everything. What a cutie. He’s asleep and Jen and her dad are upstairs watching JAG, which I can’t bear to watch. […]
Max is the coolest kid
Max is the coolest kid ever. While he’s having trouble speaking, he’s finally catching on the to whole sign language thing. He was sitting at the window watching the rain. When I asked him what he was doing, he turned around and did the sign for rain. He’s been doing the signs for mine and […]
Oh, and I posted pics
Oh, and I posted pics of Max’s biggest birthday present, the mural his Aunt Heather and I painted.
Max’s birthday pics will be
Max’s birthday pics will be online Monday. Grandparents have been alerted. I took Thursday and Friday off for Max’s birthday. What fun! Max is the coolest kid ever. No, really. I got to see a speech therapy appointment Friday morning, and take Jen to a nice restaurant last night. Max is over at my fam’s […]
Max is two!!
Max is two!! Today’s his birthday. So, what did we do? He went over to my mom’s (after going to the pet store, which is more fun for him than the zoo). Me? What did I do? I took the day off and, with my little sister, painted a mural on his bedroom wall. We […]
Running With Your Head Down
In the spirit of what I said yesterday, here’s something I noticed yesterday. I let Max run around outside without his shoes on. There’s just something idyllic about little boys with bare feet running in the grass. The problem with this is our neighborhood is filled with large pet dogs who crap in the grass. […]
