It's just pitiful how long it has been since I've blogged. I haven't blogged about Max's first trip to Disney World, his first day school, Christmas or anything!! Bad Mommy Blogger.
So Max and I went to Disney World this summer. We had SO much fun. He was able to ride all of the rides. It was great. His favorite ride was the buzz light year ride. I liked it too. We also rode Space Mountain. My first memory of space mountain was when I was about 6 years old. I went to Disney with my mom, mary jo and her family. Before I got on the ride with my mom a little boy (riding with his mom and who appeared around my age) threw up all over his mom. It scared me a bit. So as Max and I were boarding Space Mountain this memory came back to me. I had Max sit in front of me so I could put my arm on him and reassure him if needed. Well, I definitely forgot how fast and dark the ride was. I couldn't comfort Max because I was SCREAMING so loud. He tells people, Momma was screaming. Max had such a great visit at my mom's house. He LOVES EVERY ONE! Boss had him swimming. It was great and we can't wait to go back!
Max also started Pre-K this year. He is at Christ the King and in Mrs. Bright's class. We LOVE her. It is so sweet. He comes home and will play school. He pretends to be Mrs. Bright. He really adores her. He goes three days a week and I think is learning so much. It's a great balance for us because I don't feel like we are rushing him to grow up but he is getting prepared for K. We signed him up for t-ball this summer and he is SO excited!! He cannot wait! He wants to practice all the time. We went to a party this weekend for my high school friend Robin's little boy. Max went outside and played ball with Robin's dad, Mr. Jim, who was my softball coach growing up. It was SOOOOOO sweet!!!!! Really neat!
Max loves to build things, write, and color. He loves playing outside and is very interested in animals. He also loves playing games. We play games just about every night. He doesn't like to lose and will get upset when he doesn't win. Sometimes Max can be overly emotional but I guess that is just his age. I know, shocking that a 4-yr old can be irrational at times. ;)
Max is still my snuggler. He loves to snuggle in bed. He told me he likes to be in bed with my because "I'm hot." I was immediately horrified, but then he said and you keep me warm, especially my feet. HAHAHA!! I do love snuggling with him but he is really getting into some bad habits coming into my bed in the middle of the night.
He has gotten into trouble for lying a couple of times. I think I really have to feel lucky that it's only happened three times because I know it could be so much worse. He is still such a sweet little boy and a true blessing.
He is still really tall. He wears size 6 clothing. I can't believe he will turn 5 this year!! So sad!! It's like everything has happened in just a flash.
Maggie is growing like a weed. She kind of just skipped 2t clothes and is in 3t. She has really sprouted up tall. She eats ALL the time. We literally had to put a lock on the fridge because she won't stay out and is always pulling food out. She is so sweet and her vocabulary has really grown. She basically speaks in sentences. She loves reading books, playing with her baby dolls and doing whatever her big brother is doing. We are working on weaning off her paci. Some days are better than others. She talks about pottying all the time but I'm not really sure we are there yet.
She's my head-strong, independent little girl. She has a mind of her own about EVERYTHING!!! Well, I think I'm going to move on and just let some pictures tell the story of our past few months.
Hugs and hopefully I'll do better!! (can't make any promises!)
