11 Things// March Edition

Will I ever get these little updates posted on
the 11th again?  Probably not.
But, since you're here - you might
as well read about what our
little Macho Max has been up
to the last month(ish).

1.)  Max is obsessed with this app on our

iPad called "Cut the Rope".  We've started using

it as a reward (i.e. if he had good behavior 

throughout the day at daycare). The app itself

is way above his cognition depending on the 

level you're playing at - but Rob helps him.

 

2.) He constructed a rain gauge at the Home

Depot class for March - and I asked him if

he wanted to put it out to measure the snow

we were getting.  He looked at me so serious

and said, "it's a rain gauge mommy, not a 

snow gauge". So, needless to say - we kept it

inside. 

3.)  He loves to hold down the button

on my phone that is the shutter for the 

camera.  So, I have lots of little bursts of

photos with like 56 photos of his little mug in each.
Is that a bad problem?
You tell me. :)

4.)  He has taken to decorating his

door with pictures that I can print out 

for him on my home printer.  He goes 

through my phone and tells me 

exactly which ones he would like 

printed.

5.)  Recently, we've been working on 

having him wipe his own bottom. 

It goes like this:

Me:  "Max, did the paper touch your crack?"  

Max: " yesssssss"

Me:  "It doesn't look like you even tried

to wipe"

Max:  looking up innocently at me....

It's so frustrating!  He can totally do it 

by himself but would prefer me to 

continue wiping.  ugh!

6.)  His new favorite spot to eat lunch

is Taco Bell.  He gets a cheese quesdilla

and loves to eat the tortilla chips too.

7.)  He can rhyme words really well! 

Recently, he came home with a worksheet

from school that he cut and matched the

rhyming words too.  I was impressed

because it's not really something I ever

thought to teach him. 

8.)  The night of the Oscars, he spent

the night with my sister and parents 

and got to watch his second movie - 

"Trolls".  He came home the next 

day and told me there was a troll

he tooted and glitter came out.

9.)  My sister also got him a book

about a month or so ago, called "Meet 

Tracker" (from Paw Patrol).  He loved it - 

and insisted we bring it home (instead

of keeping it at her house).  It's called a 

"Step 1 Easy Reader".  Since that time we've

expanded our collection to a few other 

easy readers with the Paw Patrol pups, 

Thomas, Blaze, and Dory. I think he just

loves getting a glittery sticker at the end 

(they come attached to the book). 

10.)  He loves to listen to the magic

school bus theme song on you tube. 

(like 25 times in a row). 

11.)  He's super into rainbows....drawing

them on his easel, constructing a rainbow truck with

his legos, and drawing them on cards. 

12.) Loves to sing while in his bed at 

night (when he should be sleeping!!)

13.)  Just like his daddy - loves to 

have his back scratched!!

As always, I'm so happy to have these
little snippets of life around the Hauck's nest
preserved.  Also someday he will
reliably wipe his own behind, right?!
