Yellow Firetrucks



So Zachary has decided what he wants for his birthday party. A yellow firetruck. Not red, but yellow. He loves firetrucks and of course his favorite color is yellow. Only wants yellow popsicles, loves sponge bob because he is yellow, buses, etc. He has never even seen a yellow firetruck, hee hee, but he knows he wants one. I'm sure I can probably find one for him, need to google it.

And today we went to a store around the corner and they had some red fireman hats. He got so excited when he noticed them, said firetruck hat, red. Then when he picked them up, he saw a yellow one under them. He about lost it, yellow yellow fire hat. I had already checked out, and it was a little broken, or I would have got it for him. Thought I was going to have to fight him to leave, but he did great and said bye hat as we left. He is so sweet sometimes...

And just because I have to post a pic of him, here we are last weekend going down the slide at our neighboorhood pool. He was a little hesitant at first of the big slide, but as you can see, he definitely got over it!


And on another note, he went pee on the potty again today. His first time to go though in about 3 weeks. Slowly but surely though he is learning.

Word Explosions, Colors, Father's Day, Fourth of July

It had been an embarrassingly long time since I have posted last! (I know I always say that, but this time it really is true!)

Looking at the pictures below, he really has gotten a lot bigger. And he has had a word explosion! He can literally repeat just about anything these days (so we have to be careful) even architechture, hee hee, but he doesn't know what that one means. I am amazed by how much he learns everyday.

When we were on vacation away from Z for 10 days in Europe, Grandmama (my mom, he call her that now) taught him most of his colors, then Randy really got him to learn them by feeding him M&M's! Luckily though he doesn't expect them. But I did give him some when he went to the bathroom on his little potty, so everytime I ask if he needs to go, he says M&M. But he won't go anymore, says no, even with an M&M bribe!

He is also learning a bunch of songs and definitely has his favorites, though they change from day to day. Heaven help me if I sing the wrong song, LOL! He will say no and correct me on what he wants! Current favs are twinkle twinkle, wheels on the bus, old mcdonald, ants go marching, itsy bisty spider. And he also walks around the house singing winnie the pooh, winnie the pooh, song from the original pooh, even though he has never seen it, I guess I just sing him that song a lot!

Much more to update on, but for now I will post some pictures.
