I've been demoted...

With the winter weather finally upon us, I am hopefully able to come up with enough stuff to keep me (and Zach) from going crazy being trapped in the house. Luckily it is only supposed to last for about 3 days. This morning Zachary and I were playing and I started to tickle him. His response was AHH a monster, a monster is tickling me. That was the first time I had been called a monster and thought to myself I've been demoted from princess. I thought it was very creative play on his part though. I do have to say if I had to pick between Zach and me I'd have to say he's the monster. He hasn't had any desire to go to bed or take a nap lately. When I tell him it's time to take a nap, he's always quick to respond, "I don't want to take a nap anymore." He's got the English language down it seems. He doesn't just not want to take a nap today, he doesn't want to take a nap ANYMORE. Of course I have to tell him, "I'm sorry you don't have a choice in the matter. " But his little vocal chords continue to remind me that he didn't want to take a nap after putting him in his bed. Hopefully, these recent behaviors will end soon. I don't want you thinking it's all bad around here though. Zach's most recent cute thing he does is the use of the phrase, "I love". From tonight at dinner...Tyler took me out since he's been working so hard, we had Texas Roadhouse...Zach said, "Mom, I love french fries." To looking at pictures of Grandma and Papa, "Mom, I love Grandma and Papa." Of course every time we mention any of his cousins he's always quick to say how much he loves them or loves to see them. It's so funny to me because he always uses it so appropriately. Anything that I know is something that he really likes he always tells me that he loves it. It's always fun to hear about the things he loves.
