Zach Turns 5!!!


Wow! Zach made it to 5 and I as his mother, made it with him! Its truly been a journey. I have to admit, I will never forget seeing him for the first time...it was love at first sight for me. Zach is my 100% boy (except when he dresses up like Vanna White or in Megan's clothes)...he keeps me constantly running and on my toes. Here's a few things I will never forget:

1. Calling 911 not once but twice (the police came over) we probably have a red flag by that phone number

2. Throwing shoes over my back fence (not just his shoes, but his friends too)

3. Convincing Miss Laurie I was pregnant (when I wasn't)

4. His love for ALL animals - he probably should have been born on a farm

5. His passion for the American Flag (we couldn't go anywhere without a flag with us)

6. Putting a BB up his nose (& then lying about getting it out)

7. The time he took a leap into the swimming pool at his first swimming lesson and sank to the bottom. (he screamed the entire first week of lessons after that)

8. A million or so pair of underwear I went through to get him potty trained.
9. Taking a record-breaking 8 months to get adjusted to nursery
10. His overall love of all the tiniest things in life!

I love it! So is this what's to come for Owen too? He is definatly my challenge here on earth. Zach looks pretty cool with those "body stickers." You forgot to put bringing a camera to school to photograph the make-out sessions!

How sweet. I love the list. Those are fun stories you can tell at his mission farewell.
