Maximilian turns 11!

Today, bright and early, at 7:29 am (I think), Max turned 11 years old. I can remember the day he was born like it was last week. I was so excited to meet him. Once I had him, they swiftly took him to the nursery and I didn’t get to see him from the early two hours. Those were some of the longest two hours of my life. I have one of the sun for my whole life. I am so lucky to have Max.

Max was up early for a snuggle in bed to celebrate his birth moment. Claire was all about celebrating Max‘s birthday as she was up and ready to go too.  She wanted her brother to get proper recognition and celebration for his big day.

They had their last day of home, virtual, school today. Tomorrow is the last day of school. So far in life Max pride to himself I’m not having had to go into the school building on his actual birthday, ever. It drives her sisters nuts.

After school, he got to open his presents. I think he got everything he could’ve imagined. He guessed at most presents and didn’t get too many right. But he was still very pleasantly surprised about all his gifts. The list includes an 8 x 8 rubic cube, wooden gun that he hast to build, he wouldn’t say that he hast to build, Electronic set from Grannie, a shark pool float ie from Gramma, some new comfortable clothes that he was very happy about, a water gun, a physics kit and rollerblades. He seemed quite pleased with his take. He spent the afternoon digging into the electronics set  first. He was able to create something that would play happy birthday to him when he turned it on.

Max says he wants to be a scientist when he grows up or he wants to own his own tech company. Both things show his love of science. So that was the focus of his birthday. There are lots of things for him to figure out and build over the summer. 

In the afternoon she had some friends over to swim for a bit. After that grandma came by for a visit. Then we had Max his requested dinner of burgers and apple pie. Finally we talked the evening off by watching back to the future with the kids. They all really enjoyed the movie. Max did a lot of giggling. David was thrilled to watch this 80s movie “classic” as he says, with the kids. He is such an 80s kid.

I think Max had a good day.
