Max's Thoughts and Great Accomplishments

 

 Max went on a scout camp-out and look what he brought home.

 His sister wants to buy this ram skull from him, but he wants to keep it.

Max experience playing basketball for the first time and he liked it, 

but said he still loves baseball more.

He said, "Basketball is boring because you go back and forth on the court. Baseball you get fresh air and the opportunity to use a bat. "

 

 Max practicing for the Special Olympics.

 Max has grown six inches in the past year. 

This picture is blurry, but it shows his high-waters tuxedo pants. We ordered these pants in August and this picture was taken in October.  Gives you an idea how he has shot up in height.

He went from a 32 inseam to a 34 in two months.

 Max after his concert. He is second chair in his orchestra. 

Max loved volunteering at Safeway bagging groceries for Special Olympics. 

He wants to get a job at Safeway.

 In December Max got sick...and needed an IV for dehydration. He was so afraid he was going to die.

Max was afraid the IV would leave a hole in his arm, so he asked the doctor how they were going to plug up the hole when they take the IV out. He was so worried about having a needle in his arm. I tried to explain to him that the needle is only in when they first put the IV in and then they take it out and leave only a tube. He was a little more comforted about having the IV. He was unable to walk or stand because when he did, his blood pressure dropped to a dangerous level. The doctor was very concerned. 

I told Max that God created our skin to be able to close up after they take the IV out. 

 Max's Awesome Thoughts

Max says, "If I was a General, I would have a dance before the war and then after the war we would have a party and hand out certificates and then release the people to go home."

"Mom, I don't want to talk about Malachi's mission or write about him because it's hard, 

because me and him were so close."
