November is a birthday-heavy month in our family. The baby turned 1 on the 19th, and our toddler just turned 3 on the 29th...hard to believe! Whoever said enjoy it coz it goes fast wasn't lying! Anyway, a very happy (belated) birthday to you, little Z. We love you!

Can't resist adding just two Z-tales:

The local dry-cleaner we use has a candy bowl. The other day we dropped some stuff off, and Z wanted 2 pieces of candy. I told him he could have only 1. He mulled it over, and insisted that the 2nd piece would be for daddy. Hmm! We had other errands to run, and I reminded him that it would be a while before we got home to give it to him. He insisted he wouldn't eat it, and would keep it safe for daddy. Heh! We continued on our way (to the library and store.) The whole time he was holding the candy (a gummy bear), fondling it but not eating it. We ran a couple more errands, and still he held it but didn't eat it. Finally, somewhat impressed with his patience, I said he had done a good job of keeping his word so he could eat it. He thought about it, and said "no, it's okay mommy. Daddy's a nice guy so I'm going to keep it for him." Awww! He did indeed give it to daddy when we finally got home. Of course by then all that was left of the gummy bear was the foot, since he took me up on my offer and slowly nibbled away at the rest :-)
