It's been over a year since I last blogged, and since then our MagnusAndFriends team has grown by one. Our new friend is a zippy little toddler now; universally liked for his affinity for food and his happy-go-lucky ways. Introducing, Max They-Never-Feed-Me-Enough-So-Can-I-Have-Some-Of-That????:
Max says a few words - Gong gong, Ah-choo, Aya (for Maya), and Grandma. He also says clock - or something vaguely similar - every time he hears the chiming of his Gong gong's living room clock. He's known to be a very able thief - his latest acquisition being two dried mushrooms from a tray Popo placed out of sight by the window.
He started training as a ninja early on. Ever since he learned how to crawl, he's been doing karate kicks with his brother. Now we just have to yell, "Hi-YA" and he gets down on the ground and does a back kick. It's his most consistent party trick to date, although he also likes to spin and pretend-jump for his audience.
Magnus adores his baby brother, and often tells us that he loves Max a certain percentage. The number varies, but it always over 100%. Not a day goes by where Magnus doesn't pounce on his brother to give him a hug or a kiss, with the same funny greeting, "MAXIE! Muah, muah!!"
Maya often pets Max and says, "ooooh you're so cute". But the family knows that when asked if she liked Max or the neighbour's cat better, she said, "Tigs" with zero hesitation.
Despite this, I have no doubt the day will come when Maya will tell us herself how much Max brightens our world.
