A day with Max

This Friday Max was supposed to go on his first field trip with his class to the Baltimore zoo. The forecast was 100% rain and cold in May. This is really unfortunate as Max can not stand getting wet, unless in the tub, and then barely. Clair and I were going to go with them because I had a hard time with the idea of him being there without me to keep an eye on him. 

As the weather became clear I was more and more dreadful. Max was excited. 

Friday morning when he got up I jokingly asked him if he wasn't sure he'd prefer to stay home for he day because it was going to be so wet and miserable all day. He thought for a second and said okay, we can go another time as a family. He decided to get excited about the opportunity I just presented him. I was so relieved and excited. After a few minutes I decided we would spend the day together since I had already taken it off work. 

We dropped Ellie at school. We started with sitting at Starbucks and enjoying some lovely beverages, online shopping for his friends birthday present, and then reading a couple bible stories. Next we decided to go see Disneys new Jungle Book Movie. We shared a popcorn and truly enjoyed the movie and each other's company. We had the whole theater to ourselves and Max was thrilled to get to have what he thinks are the best seat in the house - top center! He likes to be high up. 

We watched the movie and I let Max enjoy a LOT of popcorn. He was pretty brave. He only got scared a couple times, during which we snuggles. He is the sweetest boy!  

After the movie we had grabbed a pizza and soda, a couple groceries and headed home before Ms Sarah left. 

After putting Clair to bed, we finished an art project, built some Legos, read a couple stories and generally had a relaxing afternoon together. 

Max is really amazing company! I loved this time together. Thankful for his sweet nature, energy, and love!
