The utility company had to cut down a big tree in the nice neighbor's yard. Zach was interested in the machines, but then decided he needed his gun mufflers, then decided it probably wasn't too safe to leave the patio area.  Eddie agreed.

Zach has had diarrhea for the past few days. Yesterday he only had 2 dirty diapers. His diaper rash is better today. He'll probably go to Kidz Kabana, because I need to work on a paper. Over the weekend, his diaper rash was painful. Mike set him up on his lion pillow in the living room and turned a fan on. So every time we had to change his diaper, he'd say he wanted the fan. Last night he made it to the park for a little while. He wanted his "suns-cream." I think he is saying it like ice cream. His balance is getting really good.

Just learned that I did not get the wound team job at KUMed. I am sad, but also I my last shift at St. Mary's they let me float to Mother-Baby. I don't want to work there, but it is fun to work at a hospital where I can get experience doing a lot of different things. I am going to try to float to ICU and ER too.  Will get some shifts in at KU to keep my place there until something good pops up or maybe not.

Me: Zach, do NOT swing from the towel bar. That is not strong enough to hold you.
Zach: I'm not swinging. Those are my dance movies.

Zach:   F____,    F____,   F____,   F____
Mike and ME: trying not to laugh in shock
Mike: Zach, that is not a nice word to say.
Zach: I like saying it.  F____!   It is fun!
Mike and me: That is really not a nice word. Sometimes Daddies say things that little boys shouldn't repeat.
Zach: silence

Not sure if silence is acceptance or he is thinking we are full of it.  At least Miss Stephanie teaches him some manners.

Mike burped in the car yesterday and said, "Excuse me."
Zach said, "I'm so proud of you Daddy."

Zach likes smoke bombs, and poppers. The rest of the fireworks - not so much.

Grandpa made Zach a map to Leech Lake. It had three pages and looked like a book.  It had the stinky pig farm area, airplanes on sticks and the potato farm among other landmarks.  Zach didn't quite understand it at first, but when we got in the car he really liked it -- even if it was upside down.
