11-26-11: Saturday is Son-Day... and Funday!

Hi Max!

Just had to comment on today! Today is Saturday, November 26, 2011. We moved our "Sunday is Son-Days" to Saturday for NFL Football Season and what a fun day we had today!

8:30 You came rushing out of your room looking for Buddy, our Elf on the Shelf. You finally found him. We had breakfast together - we both ate Blueberry Waffles. =0) I had coffee.
9:30 We played cars in your room. We laughed a lot here.
10:00 We watched the Backyardigans - Robot said, "Cheese." =0) We laughed a lot here.
10:30 We played trains - put together a whole new train track - new shape. Fun stuff. We laughed a lot here.
11:30 You ate a waffle. Then you ate a piece of pizza. I ate two pieces of Veggie Lover's pizza.
12:30 We played "I get you" haha! I chased you and tossed you around. We laughed a lot here.
1:30 We laid down for a nap. You wanted to sleep with your bean bag. After 30 minutes, I got up and cleaned my office. You were out cold! Sleeping like a baby. :)
3:00 You get up from your nap. I am working in my office and you, still a little groggy, hug my leg. I was like, "Aw, hey buddy."
4:00 We played lots and lots of ball with your Lightning McQueen ball and the orange ball. We laughed lots and lots.
5:00 Still playing ball. =0)
5:30 We stop playing ball - reluctantly. Mommy wanted you to settle down for dinner. :) We laughed a lot.
5:45 We played the TeleTubbies Matching Game on the table while Mom made dinner. You did INCREDIBLE. You matched them by the shape of the piece first and then did great remembering later.
6:00 Dinner - Spaghetti-O's and grilled cheese sandwiches for all of us!
6:45 Off to Home Depot for you and Mom. I stayed home to clean my office - and write this blog post! =0)

Just had to share. It was a fantastic day and you are so much fun to play with all day!

Love you!

Blessings,

To a Child, Love is Spelled... T I M E...

Hi Max!

First, I want you to know I love you. With all my heart, all my head, all my soul, and all my being. You are such a precious treasure. I love you.

I was watching a video at www.simpletruths.com about Vince Lombardi. It is Super Bowl time and any time the Super Bowl rolls around, I think of Lombardi, not just one of the greatest coaches and leaders of our time - but one of the greatest "shapers of men" ever. He was like a father to his players. I love his inspirational quotes and the movie (Click here for Lombardi Movie) on their site. And as happens every time, I saw and played another movie on the Simple Truths site...

To a Child, Love is Spelled... T I M E. It brought tears to my eyes. It is a story about a dad who had to bury his son. So powerful... Click here to watch "To a Child..." Movie. I want to spend every minute of every day with you. Watch you grow and learn... and you are speaking SO WELL now. Amazing, you're 2 years 3 months old going on 6 already. T I M E flies. I can't wait for those days of fishing, playing ball, and goofing off - like we did yesterday in the cold and snow - on that dang tractor. =0) I'll see you in the morning. Sleep tight and remember, your dad loves you.

To Your Success,

Max's Dad (Michael)
