Valentine's Day was on a Saturday so starting on the Monday of that week, I left little love notes for Maxwell in places I knew he would find them. (It's awesome that he could read them when he found them!)
Love note #1 on the iPad
Love note #2 (on the shower door)
I love that his hands still look like baby hands with chubby fingers and dimples on his knuckles.
Note #3 on his swim suit for swimming lessons
After note 3, he had caught on and asked to write me a note, which he left for me on the dollhouse.
He wrote the words "Mom" and "Max" and dictated to me what the rest of the note should say. It says,
Dear Mom
I like to eat with you. I like to play race cars with you. I like you to play with me. I love you!
Max
He is such a sweet boy and it sure made me feel good that he wanted to write me a love note. I am so lucky to have this kid as mine. I hope I can continue to nurture and develop that sweet little spirit into being just as great of a man as he is a kid today. Cuz if he can keep going like this, watch out! He'll be one standout man.
Note #4 on his bag of pullups
He was exchanging valentines in school so we got them all ready and Maxwell signed his name on all of them.
It was so hard for me to find Valentines that #1 - didn't have some sort of candy with them (Maxwell's school is a sugar free, nut free school) and #2 - I didn't hate. We ended up finding some that were really cool and had a window cling animal as the "treat".
Note #5 on his lunch box
Pink shirt for Valentine's Day!
(I can't believe how long his hair is!)
I went to help out with his party and was so glad I did. It is always fun to see him in this environment.
Distributing his valentines
"smile Maxwell" and this is what I get. sheesh.
Maxwell and Alex
Another great "smile". Why don't the other 3 year olds and 4 olds have a goofy cheese face? Why is it just my son?
Clockwise from top: Malia, Maxwell, Alex, Noya, Opal
Video - Have I mentioned how much Emmalyn loves Cheerios? Yeah, they are her fav.
On Valentine's Day, Peter made a special breakfast of pink heart pancakes
Emmalyn liked them too

While I worked on some yard work in the beautiful weather, Maxwell did some coloring outside.
Later, we went over to our neighbor's house. Emmalyn and I visited with Miss Melissa while Maxwell played with Owen and Avery.
Those cheeks!!!
Avery and Maxwell playing with chalk
He still doesn't do great a playing wih people. Most of the time he wanted to do his own thing outside by all of us but didn't engage.
That night we went next door with a bunch of other neighbors and hung out (I can't remember why at this point). Maxwell had a really fun time playing with the legos (and sort of playing with the kids).
He also played a little fusball - this was a hit and he didn't want to go home.
