Dear Max,
Daddy and I were trying to recall what year an event had occurred and we were shocked to realize that it was prior to knowing of your existence! In so many ways it feels as though you have always been a part of our family and it is a struggle to remember life before you.
Songs and games fill your days! You have become a big fan of "Ring Around the Rosie", "If You're Happy and You Know It", and "Five Little Monkeys Swinging in A Tree". You love to do the motions and squeal, although sometimes you get so excited that you fall in the floor laughing and kicking! Although we try to get you to verbalize your requests, you are increasingly using gestures to get your point across. We cannot help but laugh when you stick your fingers in your ears or shrug when you don't know the answer to a question. The most frequently asked question: Where is Frank?
Max, you are constantly exploring all areas! If you are out of sight, I know it is time to investigate when things become strangely silent. Usually, you have found a new place to play..in the closet behind the clothes, in between the wall and your play kitchen, underneath the sunroom furniture and inside of cabinets are your new favorite haunts. I do not think you will have any trouble adjusting to our new house since we go over often and allow you to race through the empty rooms. What a perfect playground!
People are already starting to place bets on your future occupation. Current suggestions include: Janitor, Chimney Sweep, Dance Master, Race Car Driver, and my pick, an Engineer. Max, you are completely fascinated by how things are put together and are willing to test a piece of equipment repeatedly to ensure it's proper operation. Especially doors.
No matter how tired or frustrated or anxious I feel, your smile can always lighten my mood. It brightens every minute of the day and reminds me to say a quick prayer of gratitude. A grin, a nuzzle, a pat and I know that all is right in the world. You are the sunshine of my life.
Love,
Mommy
