Last week Max turned 11. I now have a preteen in the house. It was like he woke up with an extra dose of sarcasm just for the occasion.
Even though I know he loves jumping through the streamers, this year he played it real cool and casually walked through them.
He also asked if he could not wear the birthday hat all day because, Hello, embarrassing mom.
This is kinda a difficult age. He is either too old or too young for pretty much everything.
But it is also a fun age. I can see his real personality emerging. He is a very witty boy.
As you can see he was so over posing for pictures. Then I pleaded with him and I got this.
Max right now.Favorite book- He is loving the secret series by Psuedonymous Bosch. He couldn't just pick one book.

Wants to be a writer when he grows up

Happy Birthday Max...I love 11 its a fun age... :-) I think its nice he still lets you post photos of him, my son (13) wont let me blog any photos of him anymore...unless I beg and bribe, people think I only have 4 girls Im sure of it.... :-)
Happy Birthday Max!! Reading and Science are pretty awesome! 11 is a great age, because when no ones watching, they still secretly love the goofy kid stuff.
Happy birthday, Max! I love that streamer thing...I might have to borrow your idea someday.
That totally describes a pre-teen. haha. Love that kid! I have a great preteen book that helped me understand what the girls needed. It was so awesome. I really can't believe he's 11. I love all of his likes and personality traits. That kid has a special place in my heart, and of course in the girls' hearts. I gotta show them this post.
salmon? wow thats news to me! :)
My son is 11 and its so true either things are too old or too young. I do love this age but its hard because he actually really cares what his friends think. I just cant believe I almost have a teenager!! Eeek!!!
