Quirky little man

POTTY TIME
Whenever Zade needs to go to the bathroom, he often seems to wait until it's an absolute emergency.  Usually he's holding himself and screaming "I have to pee!" while doing a little dance in a circle.  If someone doesn't help him quickly, he begins crying or screaming louder.  What we don't understand is why he doesn't just go to the bathroom himself, since on many occasions he's proven he can do it all by himself.  He prefers though to have someone accompany him. He's a funny little man.

RUNNY NOSE
Zade also becomes very upset if he can feel that his nose is beginning to run.  And when we say beginning, we mean that somewhere deep inside it's starting to run, even though when we wipe it, there's nothing there. It seems like most kids will let their nose run even if it runs down their face, but not Zade.  Zade shouts out in a panic "tissue!", and if you do not get him a tissue quickly, he will begin crying.  Such a cleanly boy. When he has a cold, we generally wipe his nose every few minutes.

ZADE THE BUILDER
Zade likes to build little forts all over the house.  These forts consist of completely random objects, such as a cat scratching post, a blender, an apron, a glove, a small chair, a blanket, and a tricycle.  At one given point in time, there are often 3 forts set up at random places in the house.  (They kinda look like little beaver dams). If he wakes up in the morning and finds that someone has removed even one item from his fort, he collapses in a pile of sorrow.


That said, he is fantastic at self entertaining.  In one of his little forts, he can spend a good hour just playing by himself.  He's such an easy going little guy, and very creative.

SHIRTS
Zade has around 15 shirts, but will only wear 4 of them.  He prefers his Spiderman shirts, and if those are dirty, he'll wear his Transformers shirt. He prefers to wear the same shirt for multiple days in a row. If Zade could have his way, everything would be Spiderman.
