Check up!

September 12, 2013

One of Maxwell’s other favorite gifts from his birthday was his doctor kit.  After playing fireman outside for a long time the day of his party, he decided to cool off by coming inside and giving everyone a checkup!

He would listen to our heart (or belly!), check blood pressure, look in our ears/nose/eyes, give a shot and then fix us up with a bandaid!  Luckily everyone checked out as healthy!

I leave you with this little diddy from Doc McStuffins…one of Maxwell’s faves!

Time for your checkup! Time for your checkup!
I’m gonna check your ears, check your eyes, find out how much you’ve grown.
Time for your checkup!
I’m gonna listen to your heart beat,fix you up, ready to go.
Time for your checkup!
It’s ok if you giggle. This will only tickle a little.
Time for your checkup! Time for your checkup!

A little more…

September 3, 2013

Hope you all had a great Labor Day!  If you’re just catching up after a little vacation (which I hope you are!) then be sure to go back and check out Maxwell’s birthday post and leave a comment.  We’d love to hear from you!  We’re just getting back from a long weekend at the beach (yay!) and I’ve got some unpacking to do so today I’ve got just a few more birthday photos of things I want to remember.  It was such a fun day week celebrating Maxwell’s!

Last week on Wednesday, I made cookies for him to take to school for his birthday like last year.  What kind of cookies did he want?  Elephants of course!

I was pretty proud of how they turned out!  Most important of all, Maxwell loved them!  His teacher, Ms. Betsy, sent me this picture of him enjoying them at school.

Apparently he didn’t want to wear the birthday crown.  oh well!  Please also note the “oh-runge” plates and napkins, a special request from Maxwell!  🙂

It was a great week all around and I can’t thank all of our friends and family enough for making my boy feel so special!  We loved having family in town, especially these folks…

Robert and I then had one more big present for him!  What else did my fireman loving 3 year old need?  A firetruck of course!

firetruck

Oh yes we did!  This thing is huge!  It’s a two seater, battery powered firetruck.  Perfect for a Fireman Maxwell and his sidekick Spencer!

We had it sitting on the patio and turned on the siren.  Maxwell came outside with wide eyes and said “a big firetruck!!” and then RAN back inside to get FULLY outfitted in his fireman gear before coming over to actually check out the firetruck.  Sweet boy.

fireman

This thing has a working siren, a working radio and even a working hose on the back that you can put water in to squirt out (he doesn’t know you can do that yet!).

firetruck

He had a blast with it.  He’s still learning how to drive and steer at the same time but I’m sure he’ll be cruising up and down the driveway with no problem soon!

Fireman Maxwell on duty!  It was a GREAT day and the best way to ring in 3!!!!  Happy Birthday Maxwell!!
