Why Max is smarter than you

10. He knows what a zebra, giraffe, elephant, monkey, and whooping crane are.

9. He is able to distinguish between Lucy, Pippi, and Shelley. Brandon and I tested him on this today and he passed. We gave him a toy and told him to give it to Pippi and he did, then Shelley and he did, etc. I was very proud!

8. He can push the buttons on the tv, dvd player, and computer so that I can't work it anymore.

7. He understands the importance of going green; he turns off the lights when he leaves the room.

6. He knows that if he just asks Momma then he'll get it.

5. He recognizes the commercial jingles we sang to him in utero. For real. We sang the Schnucks song, Empire Carpet, and Shop-n-save jingles. Every time these commercials come on the telly, he stops, smiles at us, and dances. He does not really do this to other jingles. Freakkkkkkkkkkkyyyyyyyyyyy........

4. He can feed his babies.

3. He can pick up the phone when it rings and hand it to Momma.

2. He points to his booty when he pooooooops.

1. He's way cuter than you will ever be.
