Happy 3rd Birthday Maximus!

To our sweet and handsome Maximus,

It is hard to believe you are celebrating your 3rd birthday. You are growing up so quickly!

We love your sense of humor, your personality, your thoughtfulness, your big smile and big blue eyes. We love your laugh and the way you say your little toddler words. We love that you still want to cuddle and snuggle with us.

You, Max, are destined for greatness!

We love you with that intense kind of love little man.

xoxo

Mommy and Daddy

Oh right, for you blog followers. You might be wondering about the zebra Max requested for his birthday present.

Thanks Aunt Kristen! However, as quickly as Max unwrapped he, he chucked it over his head, because he saw soccer gear in the gift bag that he wanted more. LOL

3 Days...and Counting!!

Yes, that is correct.

Mr. Maximus has the birthday countdown ON!

I caught this little diddy on camera. Is this child still asking for a zebra?

Max's Birthday Wish List

Here's a peek in on one of my everyday conversations with the little man:

Max: Hey, I've got a grrrreat idea.

Me: Sure, buddy, what is your great idea?

Max: I know what I want for my birpday.

Me: Ok, what is it?

Max: A giraffe and a balloon.

Me: Interesting. Did you say a giraffe?

Max: And a balloon.

Me: Right, I got that part. I can deliver on the balloon. Not sure how I am going to find you a giraffe.

And there you have it. The mind of an almost 3 year old!

P.S. Since having this conversation, I followed up with him to see if he changed his wish list. Of course he did! Now, he said he wants a zebra. :)

Getting Ready for the Big Day!

Practice.

Makes.

Perfect.

That's right. Max is slightly excited about his birthday this year. We are getting in lots of practice sessions. This particular cram session included Max pulling out his Spiderman (or as he says, "Piderman") plates and cups, me slicing up a banana, and then slapping a candle on top. Max then had to draw a birthday card invitation for daddy and run upstairs to invite him to his impromptu breakfast party. And after singing him Happy Birthday, lighting and re-lighting the candle 3 times and all having a good laugh, we decided he is quite the ham and has us wrapped around his finger he is more than ready to celebrate his birthday this year!

Only 13 days away Sir Maximus!
