Pee Cups





I have big news, I'm going back to work! The company I worked for prior to having Max offered me a part-time contract gig while somebody is on maternity leave. For the next four months I'll be working from home, but we hope it will turn into a long-term position. I have to do some retraining, and my training supplies came with urine collection cups. Since I won't be working in physician's offices anymore I let Max play with them. A two year old can turn anything into a toy.

Max will be going to "school" several mornings a week now. I've tried one daycare already and decided that it wasn't the best place for him. Next week we're trying another with a lower student/teacher ratio. We feel that Max should be in a classroom with typical children and we think we've finally found a good place for him. For a the initial transition period Max will have a shadow to help him adjust and get to know his surroundings. He's struggling with being around other children and will need a lot of lovin'.


Max vs. Pasta



This time, the pasta won. Max fell asleep at 4:45. I had to fight to wake him up and he ate dinner while practically asleep. I put him in the bath and the bath water turned red! I didn't think I put that much sauce on his noodles.


Passed Out



Max moves constantly, and then he passes out.


PT



Max rode a tricycle for the first time today. His pt used therapy bands to keep his feet on the peddles. She said that Max did better than most of her kids for the first time on the bike. He's a little tall for it, he may need a big wheel.

Haircut!

Stop it!






Getting Max's haircut is drama filled. DJ and I decided to invest in some clippers and attempt it ourselves. Our first try wasn't too bad. Max actually wore the cape, which he has never done at the salon. Although it isn't the most stylist of cuts our abilities will improve with time.
