Max,
I regret waiting so many months to write! It's October...which means we have already spent a wonderful summer together swimming, taking swimming lessons, going to the beach, and just having fun not having to be anywhere. All summer you asked me when you were going to start Holy Cross, and here we are! The year before you begin Kindergarten! I can't dwell on it, or I'll cry! I love these years spent at home with you, watching you grow and learn new things. I realize the ultimate goal is to have you grow into a Christ following young man, and I pray we are doing this parenting thing the way God would have us to do it.
Holy Cross--It has already been such a blessing to you and to me. Having Mrs. Angie teach you about God's love throughout the year is an answered prayer. I hope you grow up knowing that no matter what you do I am proud and that I love you, but the most important thing is to love God, to love others, and to be kind. I will cheer you on at every game you play, I will support you in each new endeavor, but I will not miss church so you can go to practice, I will not let you sacrifice your values so that you can be the best at something here on this Earth. You certainly still like to get a little crazy, I'm still trying to find ways to help you learn to keep your hands to yourself, but oh my sweet Max how you have improved. I love you so! You are a hard worker, you are listening so much better, you can put a puzzle together better than I can!!! You have earned 2 golden hearts already: one for telling the truth and one for apologizing to a classmate! I love your heart!
We have cut your screen time down to almost none during the day! You are a different kid when you are able to get your energy out before going to school or Sunday School.
You love music! I am hoping I can get you into some lessons while you are still little to see if this is something you want to pursue.
You still love sugar! Kinda like your mama! :)
I love you so much! I'm so proud of you!
Mama

Max,
You're 4! I want to ask all those typical questions like, "Where did the time go?" The thing is, I know exactly where it went! Fun days playing outside at Grammy's and Granddaddy's riding bicycles, tractors, gators, and pugs. We spent that time starting preschool, learning how to share, how write your name, how to be nice to others, how to stop hitting, stop biting, start using your words. We spent that time going to church learning about Jesus and the Bible. We spent that time brushing teeth, reading bedtime stories, you memorizing all the words to your favorite books, giving at least five hugs and kisses before finally lying down in your bed. We spent that time playing your ipad, taking away your ipad because you weren't behaving or listening at preschool. We spent that time giving you lectures in the car about right and wrong, about how to sit and listen, discussing consequences to actions. We spent that time putting together puzzles, watching Calliou, playing with cousins, spending the night at Grammy's, eating chocolate, laughing, running, playing at the park on warm days, having movie nights with popcorn, playing hide and go seek in the house, sleeping with Tagg in his bed, waking up too early, going for walks to the cupcake shop, building towers...I would say we spent that time well.
You have been the most challenging thing ever placed in my life. I often remember time spent in high school and college praying to God that I could just have a closer relationship with Him. One night when I was lying in bed beside you, I realized that God answered that prayer on February 24, 2012. You are going to keep me on my knees, little one!
It's been a fun, yet challenging year for all of us, and I wouldn't change a thing! How blessed I am to be your momma! You look at life differently than I do, and I love seeing the world through your eyes. You have a kind heart, you remember everything, you listen even when we don't think you are.
You love seeing how many steps I have on my fitbit...you just love a competition. I am so excited that you get to play tee ball this year. You told me that was your wish when you blew out your candle. I can't wait to watch you play and have fun on the field.
I love you so much!
