Zack may be a little quiet around others, but man this kid has personality to spare! He has gotten very creative lately telling stories and has loved learning to draw new things. He writes the sweetest notes to me and in moments you need it, he will come and give you a hug and tell you he loves you. He doesn't do it all the time, and you can tell it means so much when he does. It melts my heart. Zack is such a fun kid. Him and Levi have so much fun together. Zack is either really calm, or really loud and hyper:) He has had such a good year at school and loves his class and teacher. His best friend Preston is not in his class this year, but they trade off houses for playdates often and play most recesses. His teachers said this about Zack, "Zack--talk about a total package! We just love your (stoic) enthusiasm, hard work, kindness, and great attitude. Nothing is more influential than a smart kid with a positive attitude. Challenging Zack a little has been a BLAST! His reasoning and number sense blow us away! Another little accountant/engineer/architect in the making. Zack is a wonderful example to the kids around him and is definitely a leader for all of us. (Teachers included.) Keep up the great second grade work. You are a rock star!!!" I couldn't agree more to this. She summed him up well. At parent teacher conference they told me that there is a new girl to the school in his class, who tends to be hard to get along with. They thanked him for always being so kind to her. It made my mama heart happy to hear! Zack has a tough exterior sometimes but deep down he is such a sweet and tender kid. The other week he tried so hard to be brave for his flu shot and the look of terror right before melted me. However, he was so brave and stuck it out! He is horrified of pulling or anyone else helping him pull his teeth out. He will let them hang till they fall out! Zack has an ear for music. When he plays the piano he does very well for his age, but the thing that stand out to me is his ability to hear when he plays it wrong. He has a hard time keeping with it somedays, but his teacher has helped him get a little more material that is more his pace right now. Zack has also started his first ever session of Futsol. It is fun to see him so excited to finally get to play inside! Levi never did futsol so he is ecstatic that he is the first for once! They play in a league with kids older than them so its fun to see the feistiness come out when he is playing older kids. Zack is so excited to get baptized in March. He has been working hard to read the scriptures. He set the goal to try and read them by around his baptism. Given that we only started a few weeks back, we are trying our best! We have found that having the audio play and him following along keeps his attention better. He loves it! Just last night he got so excited when he was able to tell me what a scripture meant. It really does help them learn to love and understand the scriptures. It also helps me to try to keep up with these speed demons! Zack has really taken to Nate since Graham was born. Levi tends to be the baby helper that it is fun to see Zack jump in to big brother roll as well. He was pretty little for the other babies. He can be so gentle and sweet. This little guy has such determination and when he sets his mind to something he does it. We love our Zack and could go on and on on his amazingness!
