14th Birthday
I’m waaaaay behind on updating the blog. Here’s a shot of Zachary with most of his birthday presents. Although he didn’t say anything, I could tell he was a little disappointed that he received mostly clothes. However, he REALLY needed them! Our morning routine had devolved into a conversation where I’d ask him to change out of his short-sleeve shirt and into a long-sleeve shirt, to which he’d reply, “I don’t have any.” Yup, he outgrew virtually all of his long-sleeve shirts from last winter. So, most of his birthday presents were long-sleeve shirts. Oh, he also received two movies and a graphing calculator for his Algebra class.A few days later, he was in better spirits about his birthday presents since our Thanksgiving cruise was part of his present as well. He enjoyed the cruise -- and being pampered on the ship -- so that made up for so many long-sleeve shirts. I’m so glad he’s mature to realize it's not all about what's wrapped in the boxes -- I’m so proud of him!
