Maxi Man

My little man is growing up. Yesterday was his first day of school... 3K that is! He was pretty excited, really liked his teacher, and wanted to go back today, so that's a good sign. It should be interesting because his program has kids with various disabilities, such as autism, speech impediments, Down's Syndrome, etc. We got the list of teachers, and besides his regular teacher and the assistant, there are about five others who will be in their classroom at different times, including a speech therapist, occupational therapist, etc. I think it will be great for him, as well as great for our family.

But he's growing up so fast. It seems like only yesterday we were putting straws in his hair. Oh, wait! That was just yesterday! Check him out... those curls are good for something!!

Max is a lot of fun, and a monster. He's turned three, which means no terrible twos, but rather the HORRIBLE threes. I remember my friends, all with their first kids younger than Abby, saying, "I thought the twos were supposed to be bad. The threes are just horrible!" And I always nodded and smiled because yup, three is bad. Four isn't a whole lot better. Five is the upswing. And so it starts, Max three, then four, Ava two, then three. Should be a bang up next two years, hold of for the ride!

And here's all the kids on their first day of school. Or really, second. Because I forgot to take pics on the first day. Bad mom!
