Starting at age three, I've asked Mac 20 questions around the time of his birthday. I chose NOT to direct or influence his initial answers. Here are his responses:

Mac's answers were very thoughtful this year and a few surprised me. Here are my two cents:
1. He "forgot" about orange and asked me to add it later! Blue is new though.
4. Wisp is a Minecraft YouTuber. I had to look it up. Also, the juxtaposition between his two favorite movies is pretty funny!
6. He said "clothes" as a joke, which I thought was hilarious.
7. Trash is a card game he plays with Grandma. He got Luigi's Mansion 3 for his birthday and has enjoyed playing it with his very limited screen time.
10. He and Finn listen to Kidz Bop every chance they get!
12. Reagan (whom I used to babysit) has ALWAYS been Mac's favorite person and I asked if he had any other best friends and he said, "nope."
13. It's daddy's favorite...?!
16. First time he hasn't said Christmas!
21. No hesitation with this one!! He's basketball obsessed lately.
22. He loves moving his body!! And for his least=LOVE! But that is him to a "T" He loves school and his friends.
He still LOVES anything spicy but didn't answer with any this year. He also still LOVES screens but we've been severely limiting screen time this summer and while he asks me "what can I do" one thousand times a day...he's fine not being on screens all the time.
We had Mac's well child appt on July 21. He is growing like a weed, which we knew since everybody who seems him comments on how much he's grown!
Height: 52.25" - 97%
Weight: 72.8lbs - 97%
Basically, he's one healthy, growing kid. He's decided that he's growing his hair out so he can put it in a pony tail. I'm surprised that it doesn't bother me more than it does but him needing to brush it everyday is a constant battle!!
Here's a picture of the birthday boy on the morning of his birthday. We made it special with donuts and hot chocolate!
On his actual birthday, we had a "mini" party which included Reagan coming over!! Here are the two besties being silly like usual:
After a LOT of discussion and changes of mind, Mac picked "dragon" for his "theme" and for his cakes. Here are both of his cakes:
He's one lucky boy to have enough people in his life to celebrate with TWO parties. We are also so blessed to have him in our lives. He never stops...talking, moving, touching, laughing, snuggling, asking questions, giving kisses, telling lies, invading personal space, telling us how much he loves us, jumping on everything, dribbling a basketball and being the best and most annoying little brother! God truly broke the mold with this kid.
