Let the Good Times Roll: Happy 5th Birthday, Zachary!!!!

Oh where to begin........my sweet baby boy was placed in my arms shortly after midnight on March 11th. I was in love the minute I laid my eyes on him (if not even before!). He still melts my heart, causes me happiness, pain, love, anger, etc. :) He's a great little guy who has grown SOO much since last August when we started prek. This year has been so much fun and I have gained so much patience. Have I passed every test....HECK NO! LOL Anyways, Zachary is a lefty; just like his mommy. This fact alone makes me smile ear to ear. He's so much like me in his personality. I pray that my desire to love the Lord and obey Him also is passed on to him. He's a very hard worker when we need him to help out. He definitely can step up and help out! He amazes me by his cleverness and his desire to grow. He's definitely a physical touch kind of little boy. He wants to be hugged, kissed and just generally loved on. (like me too......HA!)

Zachary will be starting K this next school year. I was really debating on waiting till he was closer to 6, but I think he'll definitely be ready to start in the Fall and will not delay that. He loves mazes, loves school homing (as he calls it), loves to be read to, enjoys playing outside, has a buddy across the street named Matthew that he likes to play with too. Whenever he comes home and tells me about their games; it's pretty funny what they have imagined and made up while playing.

Let's see, Zachary's favorite stories are: The 3 Billy Goat Gruffs, this body book that has a poem at the end where I tickle him and Sadie, The 3 Little Pigs, The 3 Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig (that's hard to read out loud......HAHAHAHA), Jack and The Beanstalk, Peter Rabbit, Knoggle Head (not sure how it's spelled; they read it with their Mimi), etc.

He is a pretty good eater - broccoli and carrots are probably his favorite vegetables, loves PB & J's, Fish Sticks & Honey (I ate it this way when I was prego with him.......LOL), Cheese Sticks, Cheez-Its, and a whole lot of other foods. He did want for his birthday dinner to be waffles, scrambled eggs and sausage. I loved it since I love breakfast food any time of day!!!!!!!!
