A sign that Zachio is now a boy, no longer a toddler!

There are vast stages that mark a child's development. Some are more common than others. Some are so rare they are rarely acknowledged. Today Zachio entered into boyhood - diapers and all. I will tell you since I don't want the suspense to build to much - that would be just cruel.

He got his cereal out of the cupboard all by himself. Walked it over to the table, climbed up into his seat and tore into the new box of cereal. He plunged his hand into the box and pull forth his first cereal box toy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On Friday the 13th in the fourth month of 2007, my son Zachio became a full fledged boy! (True he asked to eat it - but it was his first cereal box toy).

The only thing that made this moment any more joyious for me, the proudest of proud daddios, was that prior to getting the cereal Z told me "Daddio, passover is over, we don't need to eat Matzah, passover is over. No more special food, we can have CEREAL!". Not only is he a full-feldged boy, but he is a mensch!

Hope everyone survived Friday the 13th with out any mishaps!
