Max turns double digits!

This year, during the coven 19 pandemic, max turn 10. Max is my early bird. He was born at 7:30 in the morning. His birthday comes in each year with a bang. He is up and full of excitement and ready to go. He planned his celebration day at home. He knew we weren’t having a party. But we were able to have some fun with neighborhood friends in the afternoon, and he was able to go play soccer with a group of guys in the evening. I also made him a cake he was very happy with and he got a lot of presents. Finally Gramma joined us in the afternoon while he opened presents, and Granny and Miller joined virtually as well. So while we didn’t have a big party for him, we had a lot of little events throughout the day to celebrate. I even took half a day of vacation to try to make sure I could make this special for him.

 He is a handsome fellow. He is sweet and kind. He is emotional. He’s quick to anger and quicker to forgive. He’s quick to step in and try to make somebody feel better. He’s the first one to offer to help and solve a problem if he thinks he can. He loves to joke. He loves to just have a good time. He loves to snuggle and he loves all things soft. He says his prayers each night and he believes in God. He is a good friend to anyone who gives him a chance. He enjoys soccer, and enjoys hanging out with Henry. He plays so well with his sisters.

This past year was a lot for him. He had to deal with a couple surgeries as we sought to try to help sort out his digestive problems. He learn to adapt to life without like this. He learned better habits to help his digestive system. I hope he’s taking these things forward and that 10 will be the easier year for him.

Here are a couple pictures throughout the day:
