Mommy Max Day

We were having work done on our house and it kept getting rescheduled, either because of us or the company. Last week it was scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday when the company called and wanted to change it to Thursday and Friday. What? Friday is Max and daddy day and Max can't be home when they are redoing our ceilings, so I "had to" take a PTO day from work and spend Friday with Max while Andy was at home with the handyman company. I had to be out of the house by 7am, so we started the Mommy and Max Day off with breakfast. He got super excited when I told him there were blueberries in his pancakes.

We then moved onto the car wash and this was Max's first visit to the car wash. He was very intrigued watching my car go through the car wash. Once the car was clean I had a screaming little boy who did not want to leave. That was fun as I was trying to get him back in the car.

We then headed to the Phoenix Children's Museum for a few hours. Max had so much fun and this time  we stayed until he told me he was ready to head home. I got to the car and his eyes were half open. A complete success!

Taking the bikes through the car wash. He understood it better this time and washing my car earlier definitely helped.

A little outdoor fun!

A much needed drink break from all the playing.

This was his favorite activity that had him rolling in laughter. I couldn't get enough of it. He would crank the wheel which would carry the Owls to the top and then shoot them off. He was giggling uncontrollably at this.

Back outside to make music.

We had lunch at the museum where Max had his first hot dog and bun where he ate it together and not cut up. He's a big boy and this is how he wanted it. He ate it with craisins, gold fish and a sugar cookie. This boy worked up an appetite.

After all of that we were allowed back home. Good thing because we (meaning me) needed a nap. I put Max in his crib and took a nap myself. I initially thought I would workout while he napped, but after all of the play time we had I was exhausted.

We finished Mommy and Max day with swim lessons. There are no pictures because Andy stayed home to get the house back together. Max spent the whole 30 minutes looking for his daddy. Besides that, he did pretty good. He loves the pool and the water, he just hates being told what to do. He did better with being on his back and the "motor boat" activity and a little better at listening to instructions. He just struggles with listening to instructions because he is so determined to do what he wants to do.
