- Played with Zachary Bear and pretended the bear was a baby. Pretty adorable!
- He keeps telling on himself, for example: "Ms. Randy wouldn’t let me use the iPad b/c I didn’t help clean up the kitchen, but I did help clean up the couches, etc."
- Building bridges in dirt (on walks home)
- Zach has gotten very into taking pictures
He took this one of me! - Poor hygiene (itchy bottom and, so, daily baking soda baths and cream), injuries (cut by his eye brow and swollen lip - I nailed him with a frisbee), and sickness (stomach bug) - a rough month! He got sick; we got sick. He and Frank did get a flu shot! I'll get mine soon!
- When he got the stomach bug, I gave him his Halloween costume early!
Zach is Gekko! - Zach has been meowing and ruffing a lot this month
- Zach and Frank laughed like witches
- Week of Oct 7 was fire safety week and Zach lived his best life!
- Playing with the cluster kids: Logan & Cora and Teddy and Jewell
- Running a race in his Gekko costume! He came in second!
Making a break for it
(in green) - We played at "freeze" at Crooked Run and later in the month Zach played the Freeze Dance song - I think this is from dance class. Zach asked Alexa to play it, and we had a blast!
- Susan: Zach, my coffee, dancing, Auntie Em's birthday, walks, runs, Rae's content expertise
As seen on
a walk to school - Zach: Mommy and Daddy, yummy food, Thai food, Sean and Niko, and his teachers, the train, "It doesn't hurt to poop."
- Zach has been doing some smiling and laughing in his sleep this month.
- Otherwise, same old, same old!
- Zach is very perceptive.
- He asked about Owen, Joey, and Wyatt from Michigan, and we texted Julie. She wrote back: "He’s a sweet, thoughtful boy."
- Frank talked about how Zach suggested that he put his visor down, and Frank said, “Is the sun in your eyes,” and Zach said, “No, it’s for you, Daddy.”
- He said, “Have a good day,” with no prompting as we left the Zumba gym one Saturday.
- Zach suggested that “we need to get bug food” to lure the bugs away from me.

| Who can throw the ball furthest? |
- One day when I left for work Zach said, "Make sure you have a great day!"
- He is loving music lessons. He took a couple piano lessons too, and is excited to play the piano at Chuckie's.
- Zach commented on the musical instruments in the music at Crooked Run. What?! He also tells Frank he wants him to keep the music loud in Frank's car; this is new. And, he started singing a Carbon Leaf song that he'd heard in Frank's car, and I could tell what he was singing!
- "This is a teamwork," referring to when we needed to work together to go up the hill (to the summit) on American Dream Way on the way to CT! We rode is tricycle a lot to/from school this month!
- One of the vendors at the farmer's market told Zach he liked his shoes. Zach said, "My Mommy got them for me." Teehee.
- Soccer Shots sent home that Zach has great dribbling skills and he embodies "try your best."
- Zach closed his eyes and bopped to Mrs. Potter by the Counting Crows and said, "Rock it out, people."
- Zach wanted to join Spanish class with Ms. Randy, and they send videos that are terrific. See here. He also said, "Buenos dias" to me one day unprompted!
Susan & Frank
- Frank and I hugged this morning, and Zach said, “Aww…” or something like that. He is the SWEETEST boy!
- A nice hike at Seneca Regional Park and dinner at Finn Thai
- Ran/walked a 10K+ (Frank and I did the old loop - from before Zach was born - from Lake Fairfax Park on Colt's Neck to the Cross County Trail and connecting with the W&OD to come back)
- Nice dinner and discussion at Red's Table
- We made a raspberry milkshake and Zach added applesauce. Hmmm...
- Zach enjoyed Gamma's 'grass (lemongrass??) soup at Auntie Em's birthday party.
- Dinners (and a lunch with Tammy's Zumba crew) at Tacos and More
- Zach and I had a blast at the Vienna farmer’s market. They had a donut truck, and we got him a breakfast sandwich - just sausage on a crummy bun, but he liked it!
- Vanilla latte at Bikelane Brewing

- Values! Mine are knowledge (experiences, growth, information, etc.) and Caring
