Zachary loves school!

Zachary really seems to be doing so well at daycare everyday! Over the past two weeks, he's done so much - - completed his first art project (foot painting - he came home with one green and one purple foot!), gone for walks in the nice (but intermittent) warm weather, sat in the big boy Bumbo chair (see the picture above), read books, and so much more! He also REALLY loves the bouncy seat there... he kicks his legs so hard with such excitement every time they put him in it! (Note - Zachary is in his pj's in this picture from Len's camera phone because he required a wardrobe change after an especially messy diaper incident! hee hee)

The only thing is we can't seem to reach an ideal threshold with his sleeping... I guess there's so much to see and do, he just won't take reasonable naps. Instead, he typically doses for only 30 minutes or so at a time, unless we get lucky and he stays down for over an hour. It doesn't really seem to be bothering him very much (he's just such a happy little boy)... instead, it's such a bummer for Mommy and Daddy because he falls asleep so soon after getting home in the evening, we can't play with him as much as we'd like.

One piece of news we received this week which really bummed us out is the Center Director, Julie, is leaving. Her last day is next Friday, and boy are we really going to miss her! She truly helped us with the transition of leaving our little man with someone else everyday, and absolutely strengthened our confidence that Zachary would be just fine. She is so passionate about her job and you can just see how much she cares for every child there. She took these close-up pictures of Zachary for us one afternoon and was so kind to take the time to send them... she really has a talent with her very cool, zooty camera!
