Max's Mom, thanks for such kind, helpful words. I see many similarities between our boys, not the least of which is the delightful (and sometimes maddening) sneaky humour.
I will definitely be eager to hear how your little man's personality blossoms! He sounds like a card.
Obsessed with order yet can mess up a room in three seconds flat.
This made me laugh because, around 2.5, DS invented a game called "garbage dump" in which he collected everything in sight and piled it up inside a dishwasher box that we'd converted into a playhouse (he'd slip things through the doors and windows we'd made, then proudly tip over the house and show off his work.) One day, DH and I made the mistake of both making dinner for 10 minutes and, when we looked up, our living room and dining room had been completely trashed. Suffice it to say, the games on our ban list are: garbage dump and "Climbing Mount Mummy", in which DS unceremoniously scales my front using my ears, hair, and nostrils as finger and toeholds. (Yikes!)
