Zach, Zach, Zach....

So my sweet little boy is usually full of nice/funny things to say like:

"Mom, you're beautiful"

"Thank you, mom, that was very nice of you"

"Mom, if it weren't for you, I would never get to eat waffles!" (the word waffle is interchangeable here with any other food that I've made him that he likes)

"Wow, mom, this is gonna be great!"

"Mom, I love you!"

Isn't he the sweetest? So the other day I had to laugh when this happened: Andy had given Zach his old piggy bank and Zach has been having more fun just taking all of his coins (which by the way he knows the names of and the name of the person who's on them all!) looking at them, putting them in his cars and taking them for rides, and then putting them all back in the piggy bank. This had been going on for a couple of days and I was getting a little tired of pennies, nickles, and quarters being spread all over the place so often. Not to mention the choking factor with Abby! So I went into his room the other day and he had them all over the place again, and I said, "You know Zach, I'm getting a little bit tired of your money being all over the floor all of the time. They're really not toys and we should be keeping them in your piggy bank where they won't get lost." To which Zach replies, "Mom, you know everytime I take them out, I always put them back in when I'm done. So mom, I don't want to talk about this anymore!"

I was put in my place by my 3 year old! Gee, I wonder where he's heard things like that said before......He definitely had a point though.....I guess I really shouldn't complain, right? It sure did crack me up!

So that's my latest with Zach, sorry I have no new pictures to put up. Abby has been great, cruising more, but still not terribly interested in walking. Zach walked so early, it's weird to Andy and I that she's not there yet. She's definitely girly! Lately she tries to put anything and everything that slightly resembles a necklace, around her neck. Yesterday she had a couple of plastic leis, a boomerang type toy, and a headband all on. You could tell she thought she looked quite beautiful in them too! And don't worry, I do watch her carefully to make sure she's not choking herself or anything! The other thing she does is takes anything that might resemble lipstick or chapstick, takes it to her lips, and mimics the motion of putting it on. So funny!

Again, sorry no pictures. I'm sure we'll be taking some this weekend and my next post can be a little more......colorful. :) Happy Friday!
