What's been going on!

We have been up to so much since the last time I posted any pictures! We have been busy doing lots of fun activities with Zachary, and always keeping him busy with fun events.
The biggest thing we did? We took Zachary to the B&O train museum. Zachary is IN LOVE with trains (if you couldn't tell from his Christmas gifts!)

We were very impressed with what they had to offer. It was a cold yucky day, so not much time was spent outside. However, they did have a real train ride for us to ride which Zachary thought was so neat!
When inside, Zachary ran all around looking at the big trains! In fact, he talked about them for days after. Even now he likes to ask when we are going to see the big choo choo trains.

Jason was even surprised at how much he enjoyed it too! We were lucky enough to get free passes from a little girls mom in his gymboree class. Otherwise, I don't know if we would have ever thought of going!
Next up, SNOW! Of course this occurred while Jason was out of town - so needless to say, I was shoveling a foot of snow all by myself! Great snowman snow though. I cant even remember the last time I made a snowman.
I had read in my parents magazine how to make colored water to put in the snow - and Zachary loved it. He was spraying it all over the place. Unfortunate for me, the red water made it all over my pants!
After the snowman was built, we decided to blow bubbles - really cool since they don't pop right away!
Next, came our last gymboree class with Mrs. Sue. It really was a sad day. Since I started my new job, we had to move to the Saturday class with a new teacher. Mrs. Sue shed a tear as she told me that Zachary truly was one of her favorite kids that she has ever had. We had been with her since he started his classes at 6 months old. He truly had a connection with her.
Now tonight - that was night to remember! If you would have told me a couple months ago that my 2 year old would be on roller skates - I would have laughed in your face! I (along with everyone else around) could not believe how well he did! He never really fell, and skated all over the place! He didn't want to stop!
We started with him on the carpet, but he was ready for the real thing. We started by holding his hand, and he wanted nothing to do with that. He let go and took off (as fast as he actually could!)
We skated next to him, and then eventually he was on his own, skating away. I truly was shocked. We were there for a birthday party, otherwise, I don't know if I would have ever thought to have taken him.
Little girls were all over him. On three separate occasions, little girls came right up to him and held his hand as they skated around. It was ADORABLE!
So all and all, we have been busy. We have another birthday party next weekend, so I am sure I will be filling everyone in on that next!
