There's one in all of us...

Ever since I was pregnant with Merrick, when we first realized he was a wild man, *I should have known what was coming with how active he was* Billy and I have collected things from the book, Where the Wild Things Are for him.

As if he decided to go along with it, his first hospital photo looks like he was striking a pose similar to one of the pictures in the book, even:

These pictures are of his 1st birthday party.

The theme? Where the Wild Things Are, of course. :) We got him the book, which he thinks is a story about cats, and I tried to find him a Max Halloween costume last year, to no avail. *Of course they have them this year, with the movie coming out*
Seems like I've seen Max's very expression many times, on Merrick. Needless to say, we are really excited about the movie coming out next week. Not like Merrick would sit still long enough to watch the movie. (The longest he's sat still to watch TV was about 2 minutes, and that was to watch a show where dinosaurs were singing "every dinosaur poops". Go figure.) Billy is a little annoyed with all the Where the Wild Things Are paraphernalia in stores, claiming these people have no idea...that the real wild thing lives at our house. Maybe we should be getting paid royalties. ;)
