Max was chosen to be “The Special Person of the Week” in his Kindergarten classroom this week. Here is his poster outlining the “Top Ten Things You Should Know About Max”
He is standing in front of his class with a pointer describing his poster. His classmates were allowed to ask him questions afterwards. Very fun! I went in to read his favorite book, “Go, Dog, Go”, but he ended up reading it to the class instead! He did a fabulous job!!!!

We went to “Buck N Horse” Ranch in Gilroy this afternoon for Max’s first horseback riding lesson with his good buddies, Alex & Sean
He was paired with Chai, a sweet little pony
Max & Chai took one look at each other and bonded immediately
Max feeling quite comfortable riding Chai
Giving Chai a big hug to say goodbye after his lesson. This was kind of a trial basis lesson to see if it would be something he would enjoy doing.
Max had his six year old check-up yesterday afternoon
He is 46 1/2 inches tall and weighs 49 1/2 lbs which puts him in the 75th percentile
Poor Max! He was so worried about the shots that he hid underneath a chair screaming, “I AM A SCAREDY CAT! I AM A SCARED CAT!” It took 2 nurses plus me to hold him. 
When the RN left the room, Max was screaming & crying. He looked at me and said, “Mama, let’s get out of here!” Then he opened the door slighly, peeked left then right, then RACED out to the lobby with Emily close behind him! Next thing I know the receptionist is running the door and Max has taken off outside in the building complex. When I caught up to them, he said, “Mama, let’s not ever go back there!”
Emily is 4 years old today
