Max has become quite the polite little guy. Whenever he asks for anything he always says please. But now he thinks that because he said please, he should automatically get whatever he is asking for because he asked nicely. It's quite funny really!
Max, "Cookie?"
Me, "No cookies now, you haven't had breakfast yet."
Max, "Cookie Please!"
Me, "No cookie."
Max, "PLEASE!!!"
Me, "No."
Max, *meltdown* because he thought "please" was the magic word.

It was a Very Merry Cars-Christmas!
Well another year has come and gone. Max got more cars than he knows what to do with. Someone told me that they knew a person who used cars as rewards to potty-train their son. I think that's a great idea and maybe I will take some of his gazillion cars and use them for that.
On Friday we left Louisville and went down to Morehead to visit my family. We stayed with my dad and I made cabbage rolls that night to take to my mom's for the next day. Max had a blast with my dad, whom he is crazy about, and got a little too excited and was really hard to calm down for bed. We did finally get him to sleep at around midnight. On Saturday we woke up and went to my mom's for Christmas dinner and opened presents there. There are just 3 little kids in our immediate family, Steven, Max and Autumn, so they were really spoiled with gifts from everyone. They had a blast opening their presents and even Autumn, who is only 7 months old, really got into the commotion. It was the cutest! Max was good about opening his presents, but if he got half way into it and it didn't have anything to do with cars or trains he would toss it to the side and move onto the next one. Silly kid is OBSESSED with them right now! It's insane. He did get some really neat stuff from my family. On Saturday he got a tractor with a trailer, a big stuffed blue bear, playdoh, a read with me dvd thing, another book to go with that, a $50 giftcard to Wal-mart, a thomas the train load-n-go thingy, wooden letter blocks in a wooden cart, some leap frog magnet letters and numbers, a blow-up sled with a rope to pull it with (I cannot wait for snow!!!) and some clothes. Later that day we went up to my Aunt Charlotte's to visit with them for a while. Some of my cousins were there and my grandmother and another aunt. At their house, Max got a train mega-block set and a ball from my aunt Villie.
We had to leave to drive the two hours back to Louisville after all that. Curt was oncall for work, so we needed to get back into the city just in case. On Sunday, we went to Curt's grandparents and parents houses for Christmas Eve dinner. Curt's dad got Max an insanely huge car set to keep at their house. It has 50 cars in it!! There were SO many!! Max loved it of course, because we all know that he only has one thing on his mind lately, and that's cars, cars, and more cars. Those kept him occupied for most of the evening. Later Curt and I came back home to set up Max's Santa gift. Curt's parents watched him for us thankfully! Otherwise we would have been up till the wee hours of the morning trying to put that thing together. It looked so nice set up! I couldn't wait for Max to see it when he got up on Christmas morning.
On Christmas morning I got up first at 8am and got on the computer for a while. Max and Curt slept in for another hour. Finally after Curt got up, we went ahead and woke Max up to see his presents. We couldn't wait for him to see the big table in the living room!! He walked in and his eyebrows got all scrunched up. He was like, "what's this big thing doing in our living room??" It was hilarious!! He did start to check it out soon after that though, and realized that it was fun to play with. It has this motorized train on it, and every time we would turn it on, Max would get nervous and run over and hop on the couch. He's not so scared of it now, but he didn't really like it at first. He opened the rest of his gifts from us, both sets of the Cars movie characters, more little cars in his stocking, the movie Ice Age 2 (which he immediately had to put in and watch), two packs of markers, a wooden farm animal and some abc flashcards. He was mostly interested in all the cars and the two drawers on his train table. He kept putting all his cars in there and closing the drawers and then he would open it back up and climb in the drawers and sit in it.
I went and got breakfast at Hardee's because we haven't had food since earlier the week before. We just hadn't been home. Next year I will be more on top of things and have a better breakfast plan :) We started to get ready to go over to Curt's parents when Max decides to puke all over the floor. He's been doing that recently for no apparent reason. I really hope it's not the same thing as last year when he was vomiting all the time and we could never figure out why. But we finally made it to there house about an hour late because we had to clean our carpets and furniture. After dinner we all kinda relaxed and watched Charlotte's Web while some people napped. Then later we opened gifts from them. Max got a cute bear with clothes, a hot wheels semi with lots of little cars in it, more cars, some clothes and a book. Overall it was a nice day!
I have a ton of pictures, of course, and they can all be viewed here, Enjoy!!

Winterfest...for the rest
We decided to get out of the house last night and go to the Iroquois Park Winterfest that they have every year. It's where they have lots of lights set up along the lawns and there are a ton of activities for kids. We went in and sat down for the theatre shows first. Local dancing academies get together with their students and put on the cutest show of dancing and singing. Then we decided to check out the various activities that they offered for children; Sit on Santa's lap, reindeer rides, little elves workshop, the big bear house, storytelling tent. Quite the variety. Last year Max was still too little to enjoy any of it so this year I thought...THIS is the year. He's gonna really love it! I couldn't wait!! I had packed my camera for all these really cute photo ops that I just knew I would get!
BUT this is the face...the general overall reaction from the boy,
Not amused. He could have cared less and he wouldn't let us put him down so we had to carry him through the whole thing. We decided to skip all the potential photo ops and bypassed all the wonderful wintery activities. We went back and watched a couple more performances and then headed back home. Yee Haw.
This is boring. Can we go now?
Watching the performances
One show

Fit Face
Seriously, is this not the most awful face?
Max has this new face where when he gets upset or mad, he will bring his lips in really tight and it's just awful...a face only a mother could love...maybe.
His new obsession is coins. He wants to play with money all the time, he can tell you the difference between a nickel, dime and a dollar coin. He puts them in his pockets, daddy's pockets and likes trying to fit them in anything with a slot. Today he was demanding we get the coins off the fishtank and before we even had time to react, he was throwing a fit to get them. Apparently the squishy lips mean "milli-seconds" is all the time your gonna get before he blows a fuse. Geez...it's a good thing he's cute...sans the awful fit face.

Old Videos
I just found my charger to my other camera so I downloaded the videos on it. They are over two months old, but I thought they were funny and cute. If you are interested here they are, I'm trying to get Max to name the animals in his book. He normally would do really well...until I turned the camera on, lol. Oh well. I think these were taken at the end of September...
This one is hilarious cause he keeps calling the kitty "poopie"

Away in a Manger
Max's MDO had their Christmas Program last night. Max's toddler class was dressed for the "Away in a Manger" song. They all looked so cute dressed up as the nativity scene. Max hated everything about it, lol. When they first came out on stage with everyone he was crying and you could tell he was asking for Mommy and Daddy. I went up as close as I could to get a picture, but he saw me and started crying even harder so then I felt really bad about leaving him up there. 
Then his class got up and did their little part and it was the cutest thing!
They put a crown on him and he didn't like that
Trying to get the crown off
Get OFF!!
There!
Here, you can wear my halo...
Let the meltdown begin...
After that he was so upset that once the song ended I went and got him. Poor guy had a bad case of stage fright I guess, lol.
We went left early and went on home. Here are some snapshots of him next to the Christmas tree.My flash didn't go off, so I just desaturated it a lot cause the color was so messed up on the original.
He had to have that wipes case there, lol. He can be SO funny sometimes
