In addition to being traumatized by Alia starting kindergarten, my "baby" decided to turn 4 years old despite my best efforts to talk him out of it! We did most of the celebrating on Sunday (a few days before his birthday) because Jason had to go out of town for work on the actual day. So Sunday morning we woke up and let Max open his presents from Mommy, Daddy and Alia!
He's very into "Angry Birds" so was super excited about the wrapping paper!

Alia came up with her own idea for Max's birthday we just helped her execute, "a car that he can decorate and put together by himself"
He was pretty thrilled with her selection!
We spent the night before assembling Max's gift from Papaw and Mimi :-)
Both kids were equally excited! Max climbed right into the driver's seat and Alia happily joined him on the passenger side. (Stay tuned for video)
Sunday afternoon we had Max's party at Pump It Up (yes again, per the birthday boy's request)
We were joined by family friends and some preschool buddies

Mommy kept it simple this year.
Seriously! Look at that face! I love that little man so much!
Credit to our friend Renee! If it weren't for her we would never have a picture with the grown ups in it at birthday parties!

Alia and I joined Max at school on his birthday. We were the mommy and big sister helpers!

The cuteness is just too much!

Wednesday evening we went out to dinner at Red Robin with Grammy. She got Max this cool orange clock for his room!
Max's first experience having the restaurant staff sing him Happy Birthday! So cute!
So, here's my age 4 summary of Max. Just noting a few things about him at this age ...
Best friends - Alia, Landon, Nick
Favorite Food - vanilla yogurt, Eggo waffles, nutella sandwich, apples, berries, meat!
Favorite TV show - Mickey Mouse, PAW Patrol, Handy Manny
Favorite Book - I Stink, What Can a Crane Pick Up?
Favorite Color - ORANGE
Max is growing up so fast! He is a smart little boy. He has a natural way with numbers and building and has started to show some real interest in letters and writing. He can write his own name, Alia, Mommy, Daddy and I love ... He's currently in gymnastics and soccer, is doing really well and seems like them both. He's asked to do a basketball class again too. My favorite thing about Max is that even though he is wild and energetic, he is the most cuddly little man there ever was! I love my little buddy!
