Oh my Zachary Robert... he is such a sweet, caring, funny, stubborn, full of smiles, giggles and I Love You's...passionate, melt your heart little boy. He takes my breath away with his smiles, hugs and out of the blue "I Love You Mom" multiple times throughout the day. He's been doing this for several months now and it just doesn't get old...please don't stop! He looks up to his brother Ben in awe...loves being a big boy and doing the things Ben does...cheers him on at all of his games, and is quick to tell me 'it was just an accident' when I scold Ben for being too rough or torturing his brother. We signed him up to play soccer this spring and he is so excited...asked if he got to play with other kids against the 'bad guys' (what he refers to every opposing team), and was beaming when he asked Ben if he was going to come watch him. I love his excitement for growing up, but I sure wish I could keep him little for a bit longer.
A brotherly birthday squeeze.
I saved Ben's bday crown he got at school so Zach could be birthday king for the day. I was actually working from home this day and Ben was on spring break so we got to have a fun day hanging together. Zach was so excited it was his day...when I was putting him to bed that night he asked in a sad little voice... "so when I wake up it's not my birthday anymore?" Sorry buddy, king for a day and back to reality of just being my bubba bear. He seemed ok with that. :)
Zach helped make chocolate covered strawberries to take to Lisa's to share with his friends!
