Happy 6th birthday, Zacky!


I'm glad that Zack is still not bothered by his Christmas time birthday, because I still feel guilty about it. That sounds ridiculous, but it is my fault that he was born two days before Christmas. My doctor was perfectly willing to induce labor on the 11th, but I was just too busy with everything, and was super concerned about missing my son's PRE-school Christmas program. Looking back, WHAT A MORON! So I was hoping to go past Christmas. He was due on the 17th, and when I went for my check-up on the 23rd, the doctor said he wasn't thriving and he needed to be born right away. We got to the hospital at 7 that night, so I guess I should be grateful for such a short labor so that at least he wasn't born on Christmas Eve!

Zack is like no other kid I've met. He is 6 going on 16, in every way, including sassing. I cannot wait (neither can he) for him to start football in two years. He plays in the yard with his big brothers and their friends and he can totally hold his own. He is so tough! He started riding a 2-wheeler bike at the age of 3. He is doing great in school and is quickly becoming a super reader!

Some of his favorites are: football, wii, computer games, ipod touch games, Justin Beiber, Team Edward (these last two make him sound fruity, I have no idea where it comes from), Criss Angel, Spongebob, candy, having sleepovers in Trev's room, graduating from the gym this summer, playing with friends.

I love Zack and his little smoker's voice. He's definitely the life of the party!

Boooooo to the part about gym graduation. I have never known a kid like Zack either. Not even close. He is one in a gazillion.
