A Great Week... Re-Defined!...

Hi Max!

No pictures on today's blog and soon you will know why. =0) Had an awakening about what makes a great week this week. 

On Wednesday, December 7, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of ((7L)) The Seven Levels of Communication: Go from Relationships to Referrals hitting the best-seller list - and unlike books that shoot in like a shooting star - on one day and gone a few days later - ((7L)) has been on the list for the entire year! An incredible accomplishment (especially for a self-published book sold entirely by word-of-mouth and referral) and worthy of celebrating. But this accomplishment was surpassed last night... by one you performed... 

I was reading in the room around the corner (we are staying at Richard and Gail Bass' beach house on Hutchinson Island, Florida). Hearing some clatter, I went to see how you were doing. Looking into the bathroom next to your room, I saw an incredible scene. Your white butt staring back at me! I said, "Max, what are you doing?!" You turned around and smiled at me. You said, "I went potty on my own and washed my hands all by myself!" I was almost speechless. My little boy was growing up! You had taken your pants down, pooped, moved the steps to get to the sink, turned on the water, gotten soap, washed your hands, and did everything but wipe yourself - ALL ON YOUR OWN! I was so proud. You had shot past potty-training to independence. What a great night! I had to tell Mommy! 

What a great week! Max, you topped off a wonderful week. Thank you!

Blessings, 

Max's Dad (Michael)
