Hello Independence! Yes, he is growing up fast and he knows it! Although still holding on to small things for dear life he is very independent. Loves playing kitchen and enjoys a lot creative play. We often play drs, cooking, play dough, trains, lego and such. I love when he says "mummy you're my best friend" especially when I know he means it and come at such unexpected times.
I think its funny that he is 4 in year 2014...
The youngest amongst boys here is our little Zac scootering on his scooter////and even he has a bigger one now next one up he refuses to use it as he generally holds on to what he knows best!
If I had to say one thing about this boy is he loves his food. He can tell me when his hungry and he can make his own food pretty much. He loves vegetables, fruits, all sorts and he really is a massive cereal eater! He also always has an idea of what he would like which I find amazing!
We had been to London with Reuben to see some landmarks and my little soldier got so tired by the evening. He persevered and did so well. We had no buggy and did a lot of walking.
His other best friend is Reuben....he loves loves his brother. Copies him, laughs with him and plays with him. He really does look up to Reuben so much sometimes he is annoying Reuben but I am so impressed how well they started playing together.
KFC and this my friends is his 3rd corn on the cob! He loves them and I love him for being such a good eater he makes us all want to eat unstoppable really.
I know he is smiling in this photo but this must have been one of the most unpleasant hospital visits I had ever had with Zac. He has been there to investigate some problems with his bowels and we came back with a bagful of medication....I hope my little gorgeous monkey will be soon able to get over this horrible problem.....its not been easy!
And well due to a horrid episode of croups we had managed to loose the dummy. Its been coming for a while but I did not want to upset him. He has been up and down and had so much on his plate and although I knew it was time to maybe try loosing the dummy it wasn't until one night he was fighting croups that I decided this might be that one good opportunity to ditch the dummy. I was in so much agony but I did the deed. After a whole day of not having a dummy I had cut the top of and told Zac the mouse has eaten the dummy. He seemed to think that was funny until he actually felt like needing it and realised its not suckleable....:) He then cried and cried and we comforted him that evening for over half hour before he fell asleep. My heart was aching but the two main reasons were 1 the dummy was old and very much disintegrating (and they no longer make these dummies), 2 - he was nearly 4 and it actually stops him breathing properly. So second night he cried for 20 mins then less and less and its been about a week and its all better. I am sad to see these go he looked so cute with them. Funny but since he stopped having a dummy he is a real chatterbox and I am loving him even more. Never thought I would conquer this one.
Nearly 4 years old Zackie is the joy of my life but currently the pain of my life with massive tantrums and huge screaming sessions. he is frustrated but also suffering with bowels something that I always allow for but makes my work so difficult. He is enthusiastic and often very lovely and polite. We are very proud that he has adapted relatively well to our new routines and has been mastering Mindcraft like a pro after a week of observing Reuben...now they play together and conversation is brilliant,
Yes he still is in nappies but its not that simple. We are treating him for a serious problem with his bowels and until that is over we are encouraged to keep his nappies. I am working on boosting his confidence and teaching him the skills he needs to have to conquer this problem too. Having children is the most difficult work I had been ever doing....I love it and often hate it...but my kids Zac is my world!! this week especially its remembering how far we have come and what mountains we had to climb....we got there and he has enriched our lives so much. I would have never ever forgiven myself if I would have had to terminate my pregnancy with him.....
Currently planning his 4th Bday party and looking forward to it big time!
