Zach received a bear blanket for Christmas. This morning I wrapped it around him with the paws around his neck and the head facing him. He snuggled in with his sweet smile. Looking at his bear he said, "I love you so much." What a wonderful sentiment to be able to articulate.

Today Zach played with his first imaginary friend, that I know of. Its name is Crutch. It is black and green. Eats bugs. The sound it makes is 'I love you.' And, Zach can't find him anywhere! Hopefully Crutch will make another appearance soon.

Meeting Mike for lunch. I ordered a beer!

Mike told Zach that he was sad when Zach deconstructed his marble track. Zach said, "Oh no! Get on the sofa. Watch Dora!" Mike had to get ready for work, but Zach enjoyed some Dora anyway.

Zach can sing parts of several Christmas carols. His favorite seems to be Jingle Bells. He knows one verse and likes to say the, "hey" part and the "giddy up, diggy up," part.  He sings it all really soft with a little smile on his face, which means to hear him, I sing really soft too. The other night, he wanted Mike and I to sit with him on the floor and sing carols instead of watching TV. During this time, he kept rolling toward the presents under the Christmas tree.  He is curious about those.

He also likes to get buried under a pile of pillows. Then someone says, "Where's Zach? He was just here." He is giggling the whole time under the pillows. At some point, he pops his head out of the top and yells, "Kaprise!" He did that a lot the other night too. That little kid knows how to have a good time.

Zach loves Rice Krispies. He calls them Snap, Crackle, Pops. We pour the cereal and milk in the bowl, then listen, then eat 2-3 bowls.

When I arrived at work today, I discovered that I did not schedule myself until Wednesday. It afforded me the opportunity to speak with the recruiter in HR that hired me at KUMed.  I had a little time to spare before my impromptu appointment so I went to the cafeteria. I stood in line behind Bob Page, CEO.  At one point I contemplated paying for his breakfast, because who does that? Then I wondered if he would pay for mine. Then he paid $1.38 for his and left. I should have done it. I told the cashier that I was kind of hoping Bob Page would buy my breakfast, and the whole line started laughing. I guess everyone was feeling the presence of the might B. Page.

Zach was jumping on our bed while I was getting his PJs ready. He bumped something and began to cry a little. I say, "Oh no, did you hit your head?" Kiss his head. "No." "Your nose?" Kiss his nose. "No. I hit my mouth." Then he stuck out his tongue for a kiss to make it better.

We moved his tent to the living room so he could watch TV shaded from the sun streaming in the window. He has been having a lot of fun in it.
