Caleb's BFF: Maximus

This is Caleb's BFF (best friend forever for those of you guys who forgot elementary school). Caleb loves Max...a lot. In fact, Max was one of the first names that Caleb said (besides mommy, daddy, and Joe (my brother)). They do everything together. They swim together, they play together, they explore together, they even get in trouble together (Remember the incident with the permanent marker? Caleb was with Max). They are such good friends that they have already had a slumber party together.

Lately they have to have everything the same. If Max is drinking water...Caleb needs a cup too. If Caleb is carrying around a blankie...Max needs one too. If Max has his pacifier in his mouth...Caleb needs one too. Let me just remind you that Max does not have a blankie that he is attached to and Caleb never sucks on a pacifier.

If they don't have the same thing then usually pandimonium strikes. There is usually a wrestling match and one of them emerges victorious. Even though Max is smaller AND younger than Caleb, Max is usually the winner. Like when we went to the park and he stole Caleb's water bottle. You can see from the picture above that Max is leaving Caleb in the dust.

Last Friday they had fun feeding the ducks together. This was Caleb's first time feeding the ducks and he had such a blast. Max must have

done this before because he had more fun feeding himself than the ducks.

Unfortunately, spending all this time together they teach each other bad habits. One habit I hope Caleb never learns is that Max has tendency to run around naked...a lot (remember the naked kid at the beach? That was Max). Maybe that isn't Max's bad habit though...maybe it's his mom's. You know I am kidding, Cara!
