The Many Quirks of Max

Our boy Max is quite the quirky little kid. It might be his slight OCD tendencies that make him more so, but I like to think he gets a little bit of it from me. Anyway... here are a few examples of his quirkiness.


Yes, those are bunny ears AND a pirate costume. You'll often find a sword or two sticking out of his belt, too. And once we found him wearing a pair of wings with this ensemble.


Yes, that's Max sitting on the floor watching TV inside a laundry bin. He sat there for about half an hour.


This one is quite the common site. I labeled the different quirks for reference.

A. Big giant green bouncy ball Max has named "Louis" who has his own voice and everything.

B. Tiny little bird feather he found outside that he made me glue to the top of his pirate hat.

C. Said pirate hat often worn with his pirate costume. Or with just a pair of underwear, depending on the day.

D. Vintage 80's broken video game that he pretends to play all the time. I think it belonged to his Uncle Cory.

E. Boxer briefs, or what he calls, "Big underwear." This is one of his usual uniforms.

F. The original beanie baby bunny that he was obsessed with when he was a baby. It has recently resurfaced as one of his favorites.

G. His "bean brag."

H. His "wrappie" that goes everywhere with him. Even in the car. Which is fine with me. But he can't live without it.

I. "Teddy." This is actually an Oski beanie baby that must sleep with him for every nap and every bedtime. It's his favorite.



And as quirky as he is I wouldn't have it any other way. He insists on wearing his superman pajamas to gymnastics class. He likes to wear his bunny ears out to the store with a pair of rain boots that he calls his "Prince boots." He likes to wear his Robin Hood hat outside to play but insists on taking it off in the car so it doesn't ruin his feather. He's an amazingly smart beautiful little kid and he only gets better and better the older he gets.
