Max,
What a weekend we had!  Thursday night, you were stung/bitten by something at Memorial Park while playing on the playground.  You literally went into a tunnel unbitten and came out the other side bitten…right above your left eye.  You had a small bump, but nothing too noticeable.  We left, went to Wal Mart, went home and got you and Tagg to sleep.  The next morning you made it all the way into the car before I noticed your eye was very swollen!  I drove you and Tagg to Lakewood to let Grammy look at it, and then spent my morning making arrangements for you and Tagg, who had a sinus infection, to be picked up from Miss Pam’s and taken to the doctor.  Your dad accidentally slept in, which really made me ill, and I was in the middle of coordinating the TCAP at school.  Grammy left work to take you and by the afternoon when I picked you up, your eyes was completely swollen shut.  That was a long 2 days!  Your poor, sweet little eye.  Today, Monday, it is almost back to normal!!

 “Could you”…could you hold me, could you hold my juice, could you pick me up, could you help me.  It’s the sweetest little phrase!  And my favorite: Thank you so very much!  Or You’re welcome so very much!  It just makes me smile every time I hear it. 
You are sleeping all night in your big boy bed all by yourself, and usually at 6:00 AM on the dot, I hear your sweet footsteps in my bedroom.  You want to get in the big bed and you want juice…immediately.

What a sweet Mother’s Day we had.  You brought me some snickers bites and a coffee cup at 6:00 AM.  You helped daddy cook some eggs and bacon and you made the most beautiful boquet of your handprints I’ve ever seen…not to mention all of the sweet hugs and “Happy Mother’s Day, momma!”   BUT…the best gift of all: daddy helped you make a video of all the things you love about me!  It made me cry, smile, wish you would always stay just as sweet as you are!  I love you, sweet boy!

Your favorite thing to do is ride the gator and tractor at Grammy and Granddaddy’s house.  We do that on the weekends as much as we can.  You have just gotten so good at being the driver.  I love these days with you and making all of these special memories.
We have decided to start taking you into the sancturary for church so that you can go to Children’s church and then go to your class.  We try our best to entertain you.  You were standing in the pew between grammy and granddaddy and grammy asked if you heard that horn (making music), and you said in your best whisper voice: “It’s God!” too sweet. 

I love you, sweet boy.
Momma
