Zack, Zack, He's our Lego Maniac!

Zack is a thinker and a tinker. He got Lego’s and connects for Christmas and puts them together on his own and in good time. He asks for my help, I think to make me feel included,

but I can’t figure out the 3d picture instructions. Good thing he has dad.

For Home work this week he had to hand write a page report on Barack Obama. He had it half done when he brought it home. It said things like, Barack Obama is the 44th president, he has two kids, his age, that he loved to learn. I didn’t know what else he could add to that and told him he had enough, I mean the kid is in 1st grade. But no Zack is vary literal and had to fill up every inch. So I said, “He is the first black president.” Zack looked slowly up at me in disgust. “ Mom” he patiently explained, “I prefer to say He is the first African American president.” Well excuse me mister politically correct. It’s a good thing my 1st grader can keep me in line.
