The Week According to Zach
I have had a tough week. I got sick at daycare on Tuesday and decided to throw up a few minutes before mommy came to pick me up. I was pretty sick and had a fever that night. Wednesday, I stayed home from daycare. Mommy and I hung out together. I didn’t have a fever any more and did not throw up again. We were mellow and just watched Finding Nemo and Baby Einstein videos. I slept A LOT too. Mommy kept me home on Thursday too. I was feeling much better. We went to the Aquarium together so I could look at the fish. (But I call them “ish”). We came home and I took a nap for only a couple of hours. When I woke up, I was not hungry right away. Instead we watched a few videos. I was hungry around 3, so mommy and I went to my favorite restaurant (Elliot Bay Brewing Company). This way I could order my Kid Sampler Platter. It was yummy. We came home and I had all of my energy back. We played for awhile until daddy came home. Then daddy took me to my weekly swim lesson. We had a good time. Daddy can throw me in the air out of the water much higher than mommy. I also mastered being able to climb out of the pool by pulling myself up on the edge and then sitting down. I then like to jump back into daddy’s arms and start all over again. When we got home, mommy gave me a bath and it was bed time. I was very fussy and did not want to go to sleep. I decided to cry and throw a fit for about an hour until finally going to sleep. I slept well and went back to daycare on Friday. (Mommy was happy because it gave her a chance to clean the house and run a bunch of errands.) I may have started a small epidemic (or Zachdemic) at daycare since at least one other kid and maybe two were sick with my disease. Mommy and daddy both picked me up in the afternoon. We then went to the park for about a half hour since it actually was not raining here. But it got cold and dark so we had to go home. Once we were home, mommy called to see if Dominic and his parents wanted to come over. They did so we played. We all had dinner and Dominic and I played. But I was really tired so I went to sleep about 7:30. Mommy told me later that Dominic decided not to sleep and stayed up til around 9:30 so his parents decided they better take him home. Which brings us to Saturday. I got up around 7am. Then mommy and daddy drove about 50 minutes to the SNOW! We barely drove far at all and we were suddenly in 3 feet of snow. This was a place called Snoqualamie Pass. We got out of the car and played in the snow for a while. Daddy was mean and kept throwing snowballs at me. Mommy and daddy also let me slide down a small hill on my butt. That was really fun and I laughed a lot. I started getting cold so we decided to go to the outlet mall. We all got some new clothes to keep us warm in the winter. While mommy was picking out some new clothes for me, I was walking around the store with daddy. I picked out a Pink Princess skirt all by myself. I carried it around the store for 5 minutes until I found mommy in the boys section. I handed her the skirt but for some reason she did not buy it. I also found some beautiful flowered leggings and gave them to mommy as she was at the cash register, but she did not buy those either. Oh well. Then we went to the Snoqualamie Brew Pub for lunch. It was yummy. We drove home (I fell asleep) and then I took a long nap. Mommy and daddy watched the Michigan game (poor Wolverines). I woke up around 3:30. I had not pooped yet but I decided to go all at once at 4. It was such a big poop that I got to take a bath as a result. I love the bath. Since I started swim lessons, my favorite activity in the bath is to lie down on my stomach and kick my legs. I will even occasionally put my face in the water and try to blow bubbles (or just swallow some). We watched more football in the evening and then I had dinner and went to bed. I had a really bad case of the hiccups tonight. Daddy’s family says that having the hiccups means you are growing. Mommy says I am too big and heavy all ready. So that is what I have been up too. I miss everyone and can’t wait til people come visit me.
