The Coin Collector

Max LOVES collecting coins. Yesterday, Max and I went to Panera to get out of the house and to get mommy a surprise breakfast treat. When the cashier gave us change for our purchase, Max gobbled up the coins and hoarded them while we ate breakfast. But this wasn't enough. He wanted to put the coins in his pocket -- a game that some times provides him hours of entertainment and practice with fine motor skills (I mean, have you tried to put a coin in a kid's pocket before? Those pockets are like lock-boxes they're so tight.).

So there he was in Panera, putting coins in his "pocket." The whole store was watching, mostly because his PJs have no pockets. Instead, Max would drop his pants to his ankles, place the coin in the crotch area of the pants, then pull the pants up and scream "Coins pocket!" to the delight of the whole store. And so, of course, he spent the rest of our visit to Panera picking up and dropping his pants, all the while looking for his coin.

That is hilarious...I was laughing out loud. Where is the video camera when you need it?

I can picture the whole show in my mind! BTW, I don't know who to blame it on but one of you is slacking with the posts!

Hey Kristin and Abram, I just linked up to your blog from Lisa's and started snooping. I love that Abram is into blogging and makes post too. I can barely get Steve to look at our blog. Your family is adorable! Can you believe we've never even met Max and now you have Aviva? My how time flies! It was much easier when you lived in Ann Arbor to keep up on you guys. But now I'll just start snooping on your blog. Hope you don't mind.
