Max is such a mystery to me. I don't think I will ever have him figured out. I can read Jackson like Run Dog Run. Not Max, he is full of unexplained surprises around every turn. Lets just say he is totally off the wall. Here are a few examples. Keep in mind, this all happened before noon today.
1. Take a look at the picture above. Lets just say Max dressed himself for a snowstorm at church. The only problem....it is Friday.
2. Max continues to decorate the house at his eye level. He even used a pencil and a level for this project.
3. If the eye level decorating wasn't enough, tape is his new best friend. He now feels the need to tape little objects in various places as he sees fit.
4. Do I even need to explain this one? How on earth can this be comfortable. He is one step away from a baby thong. I must admit this picture was not taken this morning. I did check however for blogging accuracy and he is in fact wearing the undies backwards yet again.
5. I wasn't going to capture this moment on film but it is still funny. Max walked out of the bathroom and informed me that he was my big helper by wiping his own bum. huh? Ok, I guess I get this one a little. Less dirty work for me = being my helper.
6. He found a lady bug in the kitchen and was uber excited. He then proceeded to yell at the top of his lungs for me to be quiet because his lady bug was sleeping.
7. A few weeks ago John took Max on what we at the Parrish house like to refer to as a "man meeting." It is pretty much equivalent to a daddy daughter date for boys. Apparently Max had so much fun that he has been hitting me up to take him on a man meeting. I tried to explain what it is and why I can't take him but he didn't get it. ***here is a warning for those with sensitive eyes/ears, skip these last couple sentences. **** I kept telling him only boys can go and that I am not one due to certain bodily parts that I am missing. He finally said oh, you have a "jine - ee" (phonetically spelled of course) Ok Mom, you can't go.
So there you have it. A half day full of weird Maxer moments for your viewing pleasure. I'm the lucky one though, I get to see these kind of shenanigans all day every day!

I love the Underroo shenanegans, I would laugh all day. Atleast he hangs things instead of making murals on the walls. He really is so smart!
Ahh Max... I agree with sippitydodaw, at least it is not marker and crayon all over the wall. Also, loved the debates in the earlier posts. I'm switzerland-I'm neutral.
Cracks me up! Carter does the thong thing all the time too. And I love the idea of calling it a man meeting!!
Wow, that undee picture is gonna go down in history. I can see he keeps you on your toes. I have a few ideas for you: santa can put tape in the stocking, the man meeting can address the correct way to wear underwear, and you can use magic erasers on the walls. Gotta love that invention! Hey, are your floors bamboo? We are thinking about that for our house.
He is a funny boy. I love the backwards underwear Saige does that all the time too. I think tape is every kids favorite thing to play with at some point.
HAHAAH I love you Jamie! And Mr. Max! He is hilarious! Luke wears his underwear in the same style as Max! HAAH
You know why they wear their underwear backwards, of course? It is so they can see the characters on them. Chad is trying to do the same thing and my sister's son wore his continually like that too--all because that was the only way he could see what was on them--Thomas, Spiderman, whatever.
I was so missing you, and wishing I could get to know Max better, and there he is, with his cute little buns and all. Bless you for doing this and keeping us connected, You will never find motherhood boring or unchallenging! Keep up the good work and enjoy the journey!!Love to all. Carry on.
