Zack is growing up too fast. He was sick a bit last week and it was hard to see him that way. Zack is an amazing little guy! He is constantly surprising us! He can say the funniest off the wall things that gets us laughing so hard. He is super competitive with himself and others. He has been LOVING trying basketball out this winter. He plays with 1-2nd graders and does very well. He is counting down the days till soccer starts again. He is also doing very well at piano. His teacher had to skip a few pages of his book since his little fingers couldn't stretch that far. It is cute seeing him stand up to use the pedal:) He is doing super well at school. 

We just ended another semester and he got great reviews from his teacher. She said: Zack is such a sweet and intelligent little boy. He is above level in both reading and math. His current guided reading level is L. He is in our highest reading group. He reads well independently and I am working with him on fine tuning his reading comprehension. He is the math rock star of my first grade classroom. He has successfully completed all of his addition math fact fluency quizzes and will begin with subtraction. He is the first and currently, only, student to reach that goal. Way to go, Zack. 

He is a huge fan of Pokemon and Nintendo games. He is our easily distracted guy that keeps us constantly creative on how to help him hurry! He is super independent and we sometimes have to encourage him to ask mom and dad for help! He loves his siblings and looks up to Levi so much. The other day Dan had his little Sunday interview with Dan. After talking about some things that were hard for him, Dan switched and asked Zack what really made him happy. He started to tear up a little and answered, "Family." It was a sweet experience with our Zack. It is amazing to see the spirit working with your kids and there definitely has been some moments with my kids where it was there and so strong. He is almost 7 and is such a sweet boy. We love our hardworking, sponge of a learner (I can swear he has a photographic memory), determined, shy, active, biggest hugs, huge expressions, loving, and I could go on and on.
