Max's Birthday Celebration

March 10, 2013, Max had his birthday party at the Kidspace.  They were making their own dinosaur puppets. 

 All the bigger kids were having so much fun while Max just stayed at the corner and played with his younger friends.  JP and his best friend were pretending to be a robot. 

After the celebration at the Kidspace, we let Max pick a place for dinner and he insisted he wanted to eat Xiao Long Bao. We had to wait 40 minutes at Din Tai Fung to get their famous dumplings.  Max only ate one Xiao Long Bao because he was waiting for his dessert.

 Max was enjoying his red been dessert bao after dinner.  Both JP and Max loved this dessert.  They each ate 4. 

March 13, 2013, Max' was celebrating his birthday with his class.  He holds the earth and walks around the sun to represent one year.  

Then Max showed his pictures to all his classmates.

Untied Nations Day

JP and Max wanted to wear Chinese Kung Fu shirts to celebrate the united Nations Day.  Of Course, Max wanted to take his favorite Panda with him and he called it Kung Fu Panda.

JP was so happy with his Kung Fu shirt since all the kids called him "Kung Fu Master"

We told Max the chicken was spicy, but he insisted to try it himself.  

San Diego trip

Taking family pictures with Shamu.

Max and JP were trying to study this animal.          

It was very very tiring for Daddy to push these two boys while going up the hill.

Panda was the only animal which Max wanted to see. 

Spending some time on the beach! 

Max really enjoyed watching the Pet Show

Last year, both boys were fighting for the single seated stroller, and Daddy had to carry Max the whole time. So this year Daddy got the double seated stroller and hoping everyone will be happy.  But of course, our little Max wanted to walk instead.

End up Daddy had to carry Max this way the whole time.  But Max enjoyed it.

Max thinks there is a baby puppy in his stomach, just like a baby in mommy's stomach.
