10 lessons from Max

1. If you open the door after he wakes up from a nap and the room smells bad, there is no need to do a nose to diaper sniff....chances are pretty good that he is stinky.

2. The best time to offer kisses freely is when you have two little snot streams flowing out of your nose.

3. Wiping your hand back and forth across your plate or high chair tray is a good way to get all the excess food off of it, so someone doesn't attempt to stick the food in your mouth.

4. If you say uh oh after you drop something of purpose...nobody will ever know it was an intentional drop.

5. Smiling at people and tilting your head to the side at the same time will get you pretty much whatever you want.

6. On that note shaking your head yes whenever the pantry door is opened almost always produces a cracker.

7. If you kick your legs really fast up and down it makes if nearly impossible for someone to put pants on-life without pants is better!

8. If you hear music with a good beat-like banjo music-just start dancing, it doesn't have to be fancy just a little bounce up and down is all you need.

9. Cheerios or goldfish taste much better if they can be eaten out of a red bucket.

10. Playing with your toys when you are completely naked makes them much more fun.
