Well, Brent and I are finally back from Houston, so we spent yesterday hanging out with Z. We had a good time. We went to lunch at Cholita's, which is where Sarah works. Zach kept telling her that his sprite was "delicious", and he also claimed to have made one of the scarves that hangs on their wall for decoration. He just looked up and pointed, and said "I made that." Personally, I think he is taking after his daddy in the tall tale department. Another funny yesterday was when I told him to count the towers he saw (there were 3). He said carefully, "1, 2, 6. 5 towers!" Hopefully those counting skills will come! And last week, he told Laura that his daddy practices for World's Strongest Man in our backyard. He definitely has a vivid imagination, but the only name he will suggest for the baby is Guy.

While we were gone, he stayed with Laura, Martin, and the girls, and had a good time. He did tell Laura that daddy was gone working for a long time so that he could buy baseball tickets! Brent, of course, is super excited that Zach wants to go to baseball games and is eagerly awaiting the start of Shocker baseball. On Saturday, Martin, Laura, and Zach went to the Darryl Starbird car show, and he had a great time. He loved all the wheels on everything, and told us all about it on the phone with lots of vrooom vrooom noises. He did not have a great deal of interest in the bikini team.

We have made some progress on potty training, and will hopefully make more. Last night he said good bye to his pee while the toilet was flushing.
