lend me your ear

Mommy, there was a fire bird at preschool.


What is a fire bird?


It is loud and it goes WAA! WAA! WAA! and we have to go outside and then we go in and play. But there was no fire bird!


Oh, you mean fire drill!
(at church they practiced a fire drill, it made quite the impression)

Every night before bed, Max and I have a new tradition. 

Mommy, lay with me.

That is how it starts.

So, I lay with him and we just chat. We talk about our days, our highs and lows. We talk about God. We talk about his friends. We talk. It is my most treasured time of day, next to time with my husband. 

I hope we always talk.

Last night, I asked him if when he is 16 he will still talk to me and tell me important things. He said yes. I have proof here that he agreed :)

*******************************************

Max can become easily upset if something doesn't work the way he wants it to. Especially when he is playing with his toys, and no, I have no idea where he got that from ;)

I usually help him out and I ask if he needs guidance. 

Mom! Mom! Mommy! Mom!

Yes, Max!

I need guidance! I need it!

For what, why do you need guidance?

I need more milk!

 Ha!

We went to the store looking for a new toy car for him.

Max, do you have this car?

Umm...I possibly possible have that one.

Really! He is too much for me.

*****************************************

We leave next Thursday for Coachella. Which I am super excited for. I can barely contain all this darn excitement. BUT!!!! I am starting to feel anxious about leaving Max. He will be fine with Mimi and Pop. I know that. He will have the time of his life. But I am going to miss him, so so much.
