Zaky's latest skill is opening the refrigerator. This was cute the first few times when he would say "juice" then reach in and get his own juice. This new skill has since turned into him taking grapes and coffee out of the fridge and bringing them into the living room. Most recently as I was feeding Jonas he brought out the yogurt, when I told him to put it back he did, but then followed it up with the hot sauce and syrup.
And if you notice his hair in the pictures from the pumpkin shots you may be thinking :"man, that Christy is styling that boy's hair", but you would be wrong, that boy is styling his own hair, but not with the traditional hair gel - Vaseline! These pictures were from the next day, after 3 washes!
Sunday we offered to watch Big James while his parents went out for a Birthday dinner, not to McDonalds. While we made our weekly visit to the golden arches. There was a birthday party on the other side of the restaurant (I am officially a mother of two when I refer to McDonalds as a restaurant). Last time this happened I was to slow to get Zaky's picture with the Grimace, so this time I had to be quick. I quickly pulled the ketchup covered boys over to the Hamburgler and kindly asked for a picture. He was turned around, he can't see inside the costume, and posed between the boys. My brave, not afraid of anything, boy screamed and tried to get away. His supportive understanding father can be seen in the background, and his likewise supportive mother is taking the picture! The Hamburgler trying to comfort the crying kid, ever so slightly smacked the little one over the head (not his fault he couldn't see). So the temptation to have Zaky's 2nd birthday party at McDonald's is gone.
