Max is Five!

Five feels like a big milestone. Honestly each age comes with my children and I celebrate with them. I make a big deal. I plan a big day. We buy presents. We celebrate them. I pray to God and thank him for their special talents! And I secretly morn the passing of time and childhood. I love the kids so much. I love the innocence of childhood. I even love looking back and how easily they are up and down with emotions. To be young again. To be able to feel better with a kiss. To be able to pretend and make all the bad go away. To be able to make friends by just giggling and making goofy sounds. To be young. To be a kid. It is wonderful. 

Today I took a well needed and earned vacation day. I didn't turn on my phone or computer. I spent the day with my kids, mostly with Max. He and I went to a fancy swim park pool and enjoyed a couple hours of alone time. At lunch at panera he told me we were on a date and should sit side by side instead of across from each other. I love the little romantic in him. I hope he never loses it. 

At the swim park he played with some of the baby slides and he and I swam together. He even convinced me to go down one of the kid slides with him as a race. I felt silly but I said yes. And you know what, I had fun. We did it about four or five times together. Thank you Max for sharing your spirit with me. I had a blast with you today. 

We were going to go to a movie at a theater but he decided we should watch one at home instead because we have better movies according to Max! How can I argue with that. So we bought a cookie cake and headed home to hang out on the couch and watch The Gruffalo. 

We ordered in pizza, opened presents and spent the evening on the tennis courts riding bikes and playing around. It was a great relaxing day. Max is five! He starts kindergarden in a couple months. He's sweet and innocent. He's interested in so much. He likes learning. He loves his sisters. He appreciates animals especially out car lady grey. He loves to snuggle and cuddle. He is a fun little boy to hang out with! 

Love you buddy! Stay yourself always!
