mondays with max
oh hi there, max.
i get to spend a little time with you each day monday through friday and, let me tell you, it is a joy. i especially love watching you and ramona hang out with each other. i think you teach her things. she saw you crawling around like a pro and decided she wanted to try it too. she’s not quite as advanced as you but it seems you are showing her the ropes.
there are some days where she doesn’t really seem to give two hoots about me. but then you arrive, or you come out of the room from your nap, and ramona just BEAMS at you. she is so excited to get to spend time with you each day. and people had asked if i thought you two would be friends and i didn’t think much of it bc i was underestimating the ability of babies to recognize and connect with people. but yes, you two are best friends.
and i’m sure one day she will learn to share and you will learn to ask politely. we love you max!
Just had a playdate today that looked so much like this video. Babies interacting with each other has to be one of the funniest things ever. Also, what a face Max is making in that second photo!
It makes me so happy that my darling boy is with such a great woman and excellent mother. He is loved by you and your family and that is all I can ask for. Thank you.
on top of getting to look after max each day, i got an awesome friend in you. and that is really important to me!
[…] happened in the last three months. mama and papa opened a restaurant, and i stopped looking after max full-time. it’s just you and i now. and the transition, though relatively easy, was a big one […]
