The things Max says

Max is picking up on all sorts of phrases these days. Suppose you ask him "do you want noodles for dinner?" He'll invariably start his reply with "Actually, I think I'd like some..." I'm sure he gets this from one of us, but in a 3 year old it is just plain funny. It is similar to his "No, but thank you for asking," or when he gave me a drawing the other day, and I thanked him, he said "maybe you can put it in your office... but actually you can put it anywhere you want to Daddy."

So tonight he's had a bit of trouble going to bed, probably due to a late nap in the car on the way back from Target (where I heaved him out of the car, threw him over my shoulder, climbed the stairs, plunked down on the couch, with him still on my chest, and still fast, fast asleep). He had called me back into his room with a plaintive cry of "Daddy I need a hug." After giving him a hug I told him how much I loved him: "Max, I love you so much." At which point he looked me in the eye and said, "Daddy I love how God made you."

Wherever he picked this one up, it made my day.
