Zach's First trip to the Dentist

It is amazing to me how sometimes Zach can be so timid about things and other times her just jumps right up to be first in line.  I have been talking to our dentist for a while about when Zach should come in for a visit, and his suggestion was between 2 and 3 years old.  I was dreading it a little bit but he was excited to get in the chair.  He had his teeth counted, reviewed with a mirror and even cleaned! 

And Best of all, No CAVATIES!!!

Belated Easter Post!

Easter was wonderful this year.  Aunt Kelly came out to visit, we cooked a delicious dinner of chicken and steak kabobs on our brand new grill (hooray) and sat on our brand new patio furniture while it was cooking (YAY!), went to a mass (where someone from the moon was also in attendance), had Zachary's first Easter egg hunt (which he loved), and got to celebrate our family and faith. 

Some other highlight of the day:

Zach wore a faux-hawk.  I thought he looked pretty adorable.  When I asked Zach if he liked his hair, it reached up to touch it and said "I need a brush".  I will work on his sense of style. 

His hair looked much cuter than this picture showed!

Braden also wore an adorable Easter outfit!  Thank you Aunt Erin.

And of course, our adorable Easter Bunny!

The Vacuum

Zachary is not a fan of the Vacuum. In his own words, "that scares me". And as my husband likes to point out, I am a vacuum-a-holic! Well at least he thinks so, i personally think vacuuming once or twice a day when you have little ones is perfectly normal.

Today, I warned Zach I was going to vacuum. He helped me pick everything off the floor, then he immediately took his place on the couch and stayed away from my cleaning machine. When the room was complete he looked at me and said, "whew, that was a close one".

Too funny. This may top his last vacuum comment of warning his Mimi who was in the kitchen while I pulled out the vacuum a few months ago. As I turned the vacuum on Zach shouted, pleaded and warned his Mimi to "WATCH OUT Mimi, the vacuum is coming".

I think It is a facade that boys start early to protest cleaning.
