Kiddie Tag

So Maxson has been "kiddie tagged" by my good friend Kandice. Must I limit it to just 5 things???

Five (okay maybe more) neat things about Maxson:
  1. Whenever he and his brother get into arguments, we do the standard, naughty chair, hug, say you're sorry, and ask if you can be friends. Whenever William asks Maxson, "Can we be friends?" Maxson lifts himself up on his toes and raising one arm in the air, shouts an enthusiastic "YEEE-AAAH!!" Too cute.
  2. He has a contagious smile. He has multiple smiles. The "Cheese" smile that he does for pictures--that usually has his eyes closed. The "Puppy Dog" smile that he does when he feels bad for something he did wrong. The "PLEEEESE" smile he gives when he asks for a cracker or some other favorite snack. The "Happy Face" smile he puts on after he's gotten in trouble and showing you he's ready to be good again.
  3. He's got big muscles. If you don't believe me just look at the picture.
  4. He is really good at sharing. One of our sharing rules is that if one kid wants a toy the other kid has, they need to ask, "Can I play with that toy when you're done?" 99.9% of the time, when Maxson is asked this question he'll say with a smile, "Ye----aaahh!" And not a minute after, he'll give it to whoever asked.
  5. He's thankful. He always says thank you whenever I dish him out his dinner. If he really likes what we're having he'll say, "Mmmm . . . goo----oood." (Imagine a southern drawl here, because that's how it sounds.)
  6. He likes to sing. One of these days I'll get him singing I Am a Child of God on camera.
  7. Okay, one more . . . Maxson is just plain good. His personality is one of the most pleasant to be around. He's always trying to make everyone around him happy.
Thanks, Kandice. I needed to write those down. Alrighty then--tag, you're it! Tell me about your kids!

So, this has nothing to do with this post in particular, but great lesson yesterday.

I don't make it to RS as much as I should, but hearing your lesson gave me that little extra push to make it more often.
