Zachary is THREE!!

Zach turned three on Saturday. He had a weekend filled with birthday fun. We decorated the house for him Friday night while he was sleeping. He was thrilled to wake up to a house filled with birthday cheer. Zach went to a friend's birthday party on Saturday. He had a great time. On Sunday, we had a big party for Zach at our house. He had 15 friends and their parents over to celebrate his big day. We had a show from a company called Curious Creatures. It was awesome! He brought many creatures for the kids to touch, learn about and even hold. The creatures included a bunny, a skunk (deskunked of course), a chinchilla, a frog, a lizard, a baby alligator, a really big snake and a taranchula. The kids (and adults) all had a blast. Zachary really enjoyed all of the creatures until the lizard jumped off the man and landed on Zachary's chest. I screamed, which didn't help the situation. After that, Zach didn't want to touch anymore creatures. He just looked :) After the creature show, we had pizza for lunch and cupcakes for dessert. Zach was in all his glory. I think he had a fun time at his party.

Brotherly Love

Zach has always loved Tyler but their love is growing stronger these days. I think it's because Tyler is getting bigger and Zach can actually touch him without us telling him to back away or be careful. Also, Tyler now smiles and laughs at Zach all the time which Zach thinks it is so cool. They are both very cute together. The down side to all of this love is that Tyler had his first cold, thanks to his big brother. It's been over a week and Tyler is still coughing. So sad. I guess it comes with the territory of having a big brother in preschool.
