Today Max had his first gift exchange with a couple of his friends. He received Air Drum Sticks and a new Buzz Lightyear t-shirt. He gave out Bob The Builder CDs. His drumsticks promptly became ‘shooting guns’ because the snare drum setting is a nice rat-a-tat-tat.

He loves Buzz Lightyear so much that he asked me to make some Buzz Lightyear wings for him a couple of weekends ago. 1 cardboard box, 2 pieces of twine, 1 salad bowl, and some duct tape later, he was ready to head ‘To Infinity and Beyond!’

Every year Carp has a Christmas parade down Linden Avenue (from 9th to 6th streets). Yesterday, Saturday, 11 Dec 2004, Max, Weezy, Toby, Matt (and Petey) participated in the walk as part of Max’s Pre-school, Lou
Grant Parent Child Workshop. We all walked very slowly and haltingly for the 3
blocks. The kids had made tambourines (2 paper plates with beans in the middle) and
Christmas hats. Max wore his red cowboy hat from Gran-mille and Gran-Don, and I wore
a Christmas hat made by some kids at pre-school. Unfortunately, Petey did not make
it into any pictures, but my Christmas crown did.
