I forgot to mention something that happened yesterday in our previous entry. Max wrote an M and an X. All on his own he said he wanted to do that, so we gave him a pencil and paper and he made his letters nearly as large as the paper.
It’s been a wide-open, nonstop day for Max and me. It’s been tons of fun for ol’ Maxiboy, though. He had fun at school but pulled a veggie, which is what he and his classmates must do when their behavior is unacceptable. He was talking even after Mrs Eileen, his teacher, told him and his classmates to be quiet and turned out the lights to get their attention.
When I picked him up from school I asked him where he wanted to go. He said he wanted to on an “adventure.” I asked him where was this adventure, and he said it was “over those trees.” I suggested that we go to Granny’s to work on his model railroad, and he said he wanted to go on his adventure first. I told him we’d have plenty of adventures at Granny’s.
I had lunch at Granny’s while Baybay ignored the grilled cheese Granny made for him. He was ready to play ball and didn’t want to hear about eating.
I left Max with Granny while I came back to our neighborhood and got Grandpa’s truck so I could go to Home Depot and get some two-inch-thick insulated sheathing. I took a bunch of other model railroad-building supplies with me, too.
When I arrived at Granny’s I unloaded it all and took it to her basement. I was soaked with perspiration and was tired, but Baybay was all excited and ready to get started building his model railroad. I told him I was calling it quits for the day and he complained loudly. But he eventually accepted it and continued on being his hyper, high-strung self.
I showed Granny the pictures of Max from last week’s Pajama Jam, Mama arrived to pick up Max, and the three of us headed home.
Baybay watched Caillou for a short while after we got home, and then he was back to full-blast. Mimi and Grandpa stopped by to see him because they’re going out of town tomorrow and won’t be back for about twelve days.
After Mimi and Grandpa left, Max and Mama went upstairs to get their baths and to lie down. Max went to sleep and in just a few minutes Mama and I will join him.
