Something new

Well, my wise friend Stephanie said that Max was having melt-downs because he was about to do something new. She was right.

Max can now make baskets when playing basketball (on the 4 ft goal)
and he's starting to learn how to catch the ball. We'll post some pictueres & maybe a video in the near future.

very exciting stuff

Very frustrating

In the evenings when we get home, Max has taken to melting down. Full blown, crocodile tears, red face, snotty nose, kicking and screaming melt down. I'm sure it is that he is just tired and worn out from a busy day at school, but man is it getting old.
Tonight, we had at least three different episodes - and that doesn't even include the 25 minute cry fest he just put on when I put him to bed (and that he just started back up again).
I don't know what the solution is. Short of strong medication - for us, not him - we are at an impasse.

Brief observations

• The closer to Dallas you get, the more sparkly the billboards become
• The American Airlines Training & Conference center smells oddly like an airplane
• "Under the Tuscan Sun" is a beautiful movie.
