Max!

This is Max. Lately he likes to chew on his shirt - can you see it? I don't know if he's getting teeth or what, but his shirt gets soaking wet and cold. On Sunday, we were sitting in church (Dale was out of town) and Max was repeatedly saying "I want to go home". If you know Max, you'll know he doesn't have a nice quiet voice. I took him out into the hall and patiently told him that we weren't going to go home and that I was going back into the chapel and he was going to come with me. Silly me - I thought he would follow me because he was all alone and scared. Noooooo! After sitting down for a couple of minutes, I told Taylor to go get him and bring him in. Taylor comes back and says "I couldn't find him" - Uh Oh! I then sent Amy out to look a little harder. She comes back at the same time that Max is escorted to me by a fellow ward member who informs me that Max was OUTSIDE by the road and someone had brought him in. HOW HUMILIATING!!! I guess he thought he could just walk home. Oh this 3 year old of mine - I'm not sure he will make it to 4.
Max started pre-school this week. Hooray! I can run errands without him telling me he wants to go home and trying to climb out of the cart. Here he is practicing his "I".
Despite him being very rambunctious, he's a lot of fun and we love him a lot.

I'm sorry. . . That would be humiliating. My 4 year old is the one who've we lost at the church numerous times and have had ward members fetch him out of of the parking lot and bring him to us (this was when he was younger.)

Max sure is a cutie though!!

He reminds me of one of my grandkids - that is something SHE would totally do!

Fun to see the Hyer clan for a short time on Thanksgiving!

Give your mom HUGS!

Max is too cute. I can't believe my youngest in 4 in a few weeks. These boys are busy! Taylor chewed on all his shirts forever! It was disgusting sometimes, so I totally get that!

Hello-

I recently came across your blog and wanted to reach out to you in hopes of you posting about an event that we're particularly excited about at Primrose Schools.

I have an article/event that I would like to submit that is about dancing and how it relates to fitness. Primrose Schools is hosting a Dance Off competition (with proceeds going the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals) for families and I think it is something you and your readers would enjoy!

I look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you,
Emily Patterson
