I’d like to introduce you to some friend of mine.

Zeke was named by Mrs. Judy Carl, the awesome mom of Tiffany Noecker. Judy will have a book coming at her when it comes off of the presses!

And now, here’s a word from our little guy. I’ll let him do the talking!

“Guys. I don’t know what happened. One day I was just minding my own business and my mom was feeding me dinner and BAM! She turns the spoon around and says “K, Zeke, now you try feeding yourself.”

WORST DAY OF MY LIFE.

I just knew she was going to make me do more stuff. Cuz, uhhh…. I know my big brothers do “the stuff” too. I don’t know why, but it just doesn’t seem like as big a deal for them.

*Shrugs Shoulders*

Here’s a secret: Sometimes, when mom asks me to try something new, I kind of get afraid that I can’t do it, so I get mad. And I scream and cry and throw a fit. Only because I don’t want her to know I’m afraid.

But then, mom hugs me even when I’m throwing a fit and sometimes that calms me down.

And sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes I run out the front door and try to run to my grandparents’ house because they’re nice to me and give me candy and treats and let me do what I want… most of the time.

Remember that one time my mom ran outside after me and she wasn’t wearing any pants?

Yeah. I planned that.

Even though my face said “screaming and crying” my insides were laughing.

Moms are really funny people… especially when they’re mad.”
