Happy 7th birthday to my sweetie pie! Cheers to another year filled with firsts that you have managed to take head on and conquer.
You remain a brave, curious, careful, thoughtful, smart, patient, kind kiddo that makes me proud everyday! Brave in going to new places with new people with an open mind. Curious in everything that you do and see comes with a follow-up question. Careful in always reminding me to keep both hands on the steering wheel and thinking out your choices. Thoughtful in your words and actions. Smart in excelling with above average grades in kindergarten, learning to read, add, subtract and always strategizing your next move.
Max is popular everywhere he goes because of his patience and kindness to others. His kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Reeck, had a sweet story about Max. She said that when all his friends said they learned math or reading in school, he said he learned how to "include" and made a picture of himself introducing an old friend to a new friend.
Max loves the color light blue, fishing, aquariums, adventures, outdoors, Panera mac 'n cheese, flag football (Go Dolphins!) and got play of the day his first day, parks, Pokémon, soccer (Go team Grey!), rookie ball (don’t you dare call it T-ball - Go Team White!), named Johnny his best friend, Kids YouTube videos watching other people play games, riding his two wheeler bike, GameWorks, swimming, Nickelodeon Universe, daiquiri ice cream, kayaking, Minecraft, remains a growing weed in the 98th percentile for height but 50th for weight, and still loves anything containing sugar!
Thank you for giving me my favorite name in the whole wide world, Mom. There is never a time I don't love you! I love you here, I love you there, I love you everywhere!
Love always,
Mom
