Max and his Rescue Squad Mater Shirt
You see this shirt here... well, if you actually see Max on a daily basis, you would discover that for 13 days straight he has worn it even after sleeping in it. (He will sometimes take it off for church but several times, he keeps it on under his button-up.) His dear friend Jonah passed it on and he LOVES it. When he prays, it is the FIRST thing every time that he is thankful for. When it disappears to get washed (which obviously isn't often enough), he prays that mom will do the laundry fast so he can wear it again. Today, I actually got him to wear his Spiderman shirt but he carried the RSM shirt around with him in his backpack. His attachments have gone a little far... and he notices what others are wearing and comments all the time. He'll say things like, "Mom, I wish I had Spiderman crocks. Maybe I could get some one day." The one good thing about this... I do minimal amounts of laundry. (and not only because of Max, I have a good husband who wears his clothes at least twice -do I dare say even a week- before throwing them in the dirty pile.) A few other notes while on Max: He wanted to name the baby Ollie for the longest time (even before we knew it was a boy). Now, he has decided on Buzzy Widget. He asks me all the time when the baby will come and often asks other pregnant moms when their baby is due. Buzzy Widget is due August 12th. He doesn't want to grow up so he tries not to eat anything that will make him bigger. He only takes his vitamin because it tastes so good. Tonight before I kissed him goodnight, he said, "Don't worry Mom, when you get little, you can have some of my Toy Story fruit snacks and wear my Rescue Squad Mater shirt, and my cool underwear." (I didn't tell him I would love the fruit snacks but would prefer not to wear his smelly shirt or underwear!") He loves preschool and asks me every day what letter we are learning next. He will then think of words that start with that letter and he shows off for everybody when asked in class what starts with that because he has been thinking about it for days. We learned U on Monday and he was so frustrated because Udall starts with U but yo-yo doesn't and it sounds the same. We had the same problem with J and G and he doesn't care that giraffe starts with G, he will always put it with the J. He has been studying his Star Wars Character Encyclopedia day in and day out (which we got from the library.) He knows several droids, jedi, and sith. I knew nothing before and am learning from him. He wants to be called Obi-Wan Kenobi. Brig is Anakin and I am Padme and Peanut is R2D2. He watches episodes with Brig and I roll my eyes. Just something I will never get into and I am fine that they have their boy bonding moments. When I tell him he is such a good boy, he reminds me that sometimes he is not nice and hits Peanut, but he is mostly good. This is true... We love our little Jedi Negotiator.

That is so cute!! I love Max! He says the cutest things. I hope you can find another Mater shirt for him to wear when he grows out of that one. Otherwise he'll have a belly shirt!
Seriously, Max is one in a million. MAXAMILLIAN!!!!!!
