Zachary Kevin at 2 years!

Zachary listening to my iPOD.
This is a post to share 10 facts about our little 2 year old, Zachary Kevin.

Zacharys Favorite things....

10. Food. Zachary eats almost anything. He loves whole tomatoes, raw onions, PIZZA, Chinese noodles, "Donalds" Burger & Fries with Apple Dippers minus the caramel. He loves to eat. He does not turn his nose up to almost anything...except Sloppy Joes and Stuffed Peppers ( which is okay because I am not a huge fan of those two items either). Zachary has always been a good eater except for his dislike of breast milk. Once we got him on to formula we could not stop him.

9. Pre-school. Zachary absolutely loves his teachers Miss Nikki and Mrs. Jen. He talks about both of them all day long. He thanks God for them every night before he goes to bed. Z also enjoys his friends or as he would say the "kids" at school.

8. Zachary loves DIRT. He like to pretend that his snacks are dirt, that his toys are dirt, and that his bath water is dirt. He loves to scoop, pour, and pile anything like Bob the Builder does.

7. Zachary's favorite items are Choo Choo trains, Bob the Builder DVD's, & Curious George.

6. Zachary loves to get the mail. He is just like me. Daily we got to the mailbox right before nap time. He thinks it is extra cool when we get the mail directly from our mail carrier and her mini mail truck. He carries the mail back to the house all by himself and sorts it for me. It is a "red letter" day when he gets something for himself.

5. Zachary can count to 10. If Kevin or I start him on one he says all the numbers and yells the number 10. Not sure if that is something he does at school but he thinks it is hilarious.

4. Zachary loves going to church. The entire way there he says, "Jesus". When we pick him up from Sunday School he does not want to come with us. If we drive by church he cries because we are not stopping.

3. Zachary loves sport "games". I think this is because of High School Musical, but he loves to play "hoops" and he loves to toss a football. He also likes to attend football games or watch them on t.v.

2. Zachary does not let you forget prayers. Before nap, before bed, or before we eat he always reminds Kevin and I that we need to pray. It melts my heart to see him talk to Jesus.

1. Zachary loves his Paw Paw Marv, Maw Maw Karen, Grammy, and Poppy SO much. He often asks to call them on the phone or drive by Walgreens to visit Pops. He can't wait to see them or have them take them home with them. What a blessing. He also loves his aunts and uncles. His best friends are Elliott and Charley.

As I think about the past two years with Zachary I am so amazed. I am totally enjoying this stage because he is our little buddy. He loves to help us, he loves to be praised, and he loves to go to new places. I love watching the wonder in his eyes when he learns a new word or sees something new. It is amazing to be the mommy of a wonderful, active two year old. Thank you God for this opportunity.

Here is what Elliott had to say after I read him this blog.

"Elliott loves Zachy...best friend. He wishes Zachy lived at Millie's (next door) so he could see you everyday. He also thinks you need Chocolate. I love Aunt Howie and want to see Kevin."

Happy Birthday, Zachary! I party today!
