With his long curly eyelashes and gentle disposition, Max has always been popular with the girls. Some of his signature moves:
|
|
Holding hands. He sometime walks part of the way home hand in hand with one of his classmates who lives in our neighborhood (and who conveniently has a sister Julie’s age). Pretending to see Swiper, the sneaky fox from Dora, also is a hit with this one.
 
|
Giving lots of hugs. So sweet, except for when he gets tired and starts hugging too aggressively – we’re working on only hugging girls who want to be hugged, a good lesson for life.
|
|
Dancing, and, of course, hugging a friend we visited in a fun cowgirl restaurant in the Village.
|
Building cool stuff on the playground at school.
|
More hand holding with another favorite classmate.
|
Showing off his ball skills with a girl he picked up at Lincoln Center.
|
Playing ‘family,’ which we’ve heard he does a lot of at school with various female classmates. He’s usually the daddy, though sometimes the brother. He’s also good at picking out romantic settings, like this verdant oasis by Turtle Pond under Belvedere Castle at a school picnic. He later told me a bird landed on their ‘house’ and he shooed it away.
|
‘Go away Mommy.’
 
|
Another scenic date in a tulip filled garden by his school.
|
Flying away and playing hard to get.
|
Making funny faces.
|
Trying on their moms’ shades.
|
One day I asked Max what he did while he and a friend were playing family and he said ‘kissing.’ But don’t worry, Julie’s usually there to chaperone.
