My baby boy is 5

It is birthday week at our house and today it is Zach's turn. He has been counting down to this day since his last birthday. He is my funny little guy and is a thinker. His last primary teacher asked me if he was always so goofy. I smiled and happily said yes. He is always asking great questions or making funny statements. One of our recent favorite questions is this; "Dad why is there still snow at the top of the mountains?" Cris explained the higher elevation and so forth. Zach pondering for a moment said, "Oh, then heaven must be freezing." Or when he proudly announced he knew what Cris' shirt said, "G A P, that spells gymnastics." One of his favorite words is "whatever." for when he just doesn't want to believe your explanations.

He is so excited to be starting kindergarten this fall and LOVES to learn. Hopefully, his phonics will improve. He will be making his athletic debut in the fall playing soccer. He is very excited and has been practicing with his brother and sister. He is our little peacemaker often letting Alex make the final call on things and is a great helper and playmate to his little sister. We love you Zachary McKay Richardson!
