A few things that made me chuckle tonight.

I. Brothers photo ops

First attempt:

Hey, look at mama!

Told M to Sit closer, and this is what happened:

M finally cooperated after some laughs, and say “look at mama”!

II. Show and tell

M was rather proud that he was in the “baby float” in Hawaii, a few months ago.

III. Eating blueberries

He was eating blueberries on the floor, while I was busy wiping down the dining room. Then I realized he kept making trips to the trash can in the kitchen. I’m pretty sure he was tossing either bad looking blueberries or berries that were dropped on the floor. I missed the shot of him opening the trash can so he posed it for me. It’s wonderful now he knows how to pose. Sometimes it’s a curse since I don’t like cheesy fake smile shots, but great for situations like this.

Some of the funnest conversations happen after the bath while I dress him, when he’s in a good mood that is. Tonight for example, he hasn’t learned how to use You and I from different perspectives –

Maxwell: (pointing to himself) I’m da boss!

I: Yeah, you’re the boss!

Maxwell: No! No! I da boss!

I: (pointing to him) Yeah, You da boss!

Maxwell: No! I (a long dragged out I) da boss!

I: (pointing to myself) I da boss!

Maxwell: NO! I da boss!

I: I da boss!

Maxwell: NO! You da boss!

I: Yay!

Maxwell: (looking thoroughly confused)

I: Silly Maxwell.

Maxwell: No silly Maxwell.

He was very proud that he figured out how to insert the pencil into the sprial spine. It’s his little sketch book.
