Zarif's firsts

Z's school is having a birthday do for him next week. School's asked me to provide them with some notes on his progress over the years. 'Key' milestones, if you like. Decided to scrap on some firsts in his life to date.

(he was just over a year old in the photo - sometime after Aug ' 04)

"Mr Preppy & Mr Grungy"

... Z with his other cousin ...

"DOUBE TROUBLE"

... Z with first cousin ...

"Z and THOMAS

... Z obsesses over Thomas & Friends, the way I do over Orla Kiely

(difference is, he's got a much bigger collection of them trains, than I have of OK's bags) ...

"PAINTING"

... Z enjoys painting, and naturally, I welcome and encourage this interest in him ...

"S.L.E.E.P."

- i've a thing for taking my Z's photos when he's asleep ... -

"THE LETTER Z"

"WHAT'S IN A NAME?"

... scrap layout on the origin of my son's name ...
