Zero the Hero made his first visit today! Isn't this guy cute? Check him out here. Yep, 10 days done! I was soooo excited to get Zero's first visit over with started that he came right away this morning! **We read our Zero the Hero story** My coworker Tina had an adorable story and we updated it with some new clipart.
