One sunday a month or two ago Max decided he wanted to play "car dealership". He got out his big ol' box of matchbox/hot wheels cars and went for it.
He's always always loved cars. He's spent so many hours of his life playing with them. I love how engaged he gets.
Anyway.
And this is what he ended up with.
Isn't it amazing looking? We have lots of video with him explaining it and showing how you shop for cars, and having cars shopping for other cars. All sorts of good stuff.
But the biggest challenge is protecting the work of art from the little stinker.
But back then little piglet had just barely learned to crawl and he didn't go too fast. In fact I don't know if he ever even noticed the dealership was there. Our living room is big enough that Max can go back behind a chair and stay out of the line of sight.
So the dealership went on all that day, and it was, of course, super tragic when we finally had to clean it up.
He's such a funny guy, that Max.

Such a cool flow of cars, though - wasn't it? Almost the shape of a paisley, dear to the heart of all people who were under 30 in the 60s. I remember when he lined his cars up on the table in KC, and I straightened the line up so it was perfect - then some friend of yours came over and saw the line and freaked out, thinking Max had to be OCD or something. This wave of cars is MUCH more creative.
Oh, I love this. I seriously love watching what kids come up with when they play. I don't remember doing anything that cool when I was little! Actually I don't remember much of anything that I played at all, but there must have been something, right? :) Anyway, that Max is awesome.
My Jadon is the exact same way. I've never had a boy so obsessed with cars like Jadon.
So cool how Max lined up his cars! Very creative child, that one.
Yeah, that's a really really cool shape.
I also love the sweater he's wearing. It's the same sweater I wore when Cam left on his mission.
