Maxwell Mozart

Posted December 13th, 2007 by sara

Maxwell loves music of all kinds. He loves Aunt Stes' country music, the normal music his parents listen to, children's music and church music. Honestly there isn't a type of music he doesn't enjoy although there are individual songs he dislikes. Many times when he gets into the car he demands I change the station to number 6 which is the classical station. They do a Mozart lunch hour every day that he really enjoys. At a stop light I made the mistake of trying to engage him in a conversation. He kept giving me dirty looks and not responding to any of my queries.

Future Missionary

My children are so different from Jared and I. Xander is already planning 13 years into the future. For about 6 months he has been saving up for this $30 shark LEGO set. He really likes it and talks about it regularly. He won't waste any money on anything. With his birthday he finally managed to save up enough money to make the purchase. Today, after picking him up from school I offered to take him to Toys R Us so he could make the purchase. He said no he wanted to wait a bit.

Some more . . .

A few days ago Elijah got in trouble. I gave him the consequence of no electronic games. You have to be very specific when you own as many electronics as we do. While Maxwell and Xander were playing Playstation, Elijah informed me it wasn't a very good punishment because he doesn't like Playstation anyway. I asked him what a better punishment would be. He asked if he came up with one could he play the Playstation. Of course the answer was no. I informed him if this wasn't a good enough punishment that we could add to it. Amazingly, no electronics became plenty of punishment.
