Hi Max. We’re back to posting. We’ll catch everyone up. You had a great weekend although you seem to be teething and have been waking up every couple of hours every night. We started the weekend with our usual trip to Morandi for breakfast. You are very popular there.
We hung out with you on Saturday and walked around, enjoying the nice weather. On Sunday, your great aunt came to visit which was a hit, as usual. You did a lot of silly stuff together.
We are taking you on vacation to the Dominican Republic in a couple of weeks (we are going to Club Med because of their kid’s club). We applied for your passport this week. That was exciting!
And in other exciting news, you got into school for the Fall. You’ll be going the Village Preschool Center. You interviewed with us this week and you were a hit. You were so comfortable there you just fit right in.
You know how to drink through a straw, which is just amazing because your mommy apparently didn’t do that until she was 3.
You are still rather obsessed with firetrucks and now you’re particularly into a DVD series called Fireman Sam which you summon by making a siren sound.
You say “Sam” with a British accent because they do.
You are starting to use crayons although you’d much rather peel the labels because your daddy taught you that that’s what you do when the crayon wears down.
You are also on the verge of figuring out how to drive the little car that operates on momentum.
Zulu and you are better and better friends. You can say her name now.
You are still in love with your big, red car.
We had a nice snuggle at the end of the day today (watching Fireman sam of course).
You looked so handsome after the bath with your combed hair that I wanted to take your pacifier out (your “fi” as you say). But this is the face I got…

Well . . . Max, I was just going to call the cops to find you. Thank goodness you’re back . . . and . . . best of all, your mummy is in some pictures. You have an awful lot of teeth; orthodonture is in your future, I think. Tell Dad to work hard and save.
I’m glad you’re still into your fire trucks; you have the best collection. I’ll miss you when you go on vacation. But we expect lots of pictures of you in the water.
Lots of love . . .
(PS: I think your Great Aunt should dress up a little for these pictures! We have standards.)
MAX – You are a handsome dude ( especially when your hair is combed ) – Welcome back to your blog – I’ve missed your Mom’s weekly postings – Congratulations on being accepted to your Village Pre-school – I can’t wait to visit it with you – that will be a real treat -You are getting to be a big boy – So nice to know you and ZULU are strongly bonding -you’ll always be best buddies – How lucky for you to have your great Auntie so close for a visit – you have such fun with her – and – finally some photos of your Mom ( more of them please ). Have a wonderful time at Club Med! I love you!
I love the new blog post, you were all very missed. Max is up to so many things now! Sabra, you look beautiful in the photo snuggling with Max.
So Big Boy, you’re off to school! A long career of schooling is rolling out before you – mom and dad know how long. You’ll have a great time; and it’s going to be fun hearing all the tales of your school adventures. Be a good boy – share!
Love,
Lola
Welcome back, Max!
I missed you very much and Paul and I will absolutely need a visit.
Love
Michele
Max, as a serial student myself (more fun than work!), I congratulate you on the first of what will surely be many admissions to prestigious institutions. For some reason I see econ in your future, but maybe you’ll do a quick detour through Dostoevsky. See you tomorrow!
