For Max's 6th birthday, he wanted to have his friends Elijah, Sam, and Steve over for his party. I'm not good at the whole party thing, so we had his friends and their families over for dinner and cake and called it a party!
Max continues to love life! He comes from a different mold from the rest of the kids. Not sure where he gets it from, but he is such a unique kid!
He is loving Kindergarten! I was a little worried about how he would do since sitting still and anything having to do with academics are not his strong points, but he is surprising us all! He no longer has to sit right next to the teacher during chapel and he has been moved off the front row in the classroom, so in my book that is success!
This is the first year he has been part of an organized sports team! After 5 years of being dragged to this and that game, he finally gets to wear a uniform! He has had one basketball game. The highlight of the game was as he ran out of the Upward tunnel he did a cartwheel for the crowd. He would dribble up the court, turn to the basket, break out in a huge smile, then decide to not risk it, and pass it off to a teammate. At one point in the game he and the kid he was guarding from the other team seemed to be having a nice chit chat while the others were running up and down the court. We all loved watching him play!
And after spending one hour with Max the coach said, "God knew I needed Max on my team because this kid just loves life!"
Happy Birthday, Max!!
