We celebrated New Year’s Eve in
Chestnut Hill at a sleep over with Jen, Kim & the twins and Dena.
Fortunately none of the toddlers stayed up until midnight and
miraculously all of the adults did! Dena sat in the back with Zeeke
on the drive home and he began chanting her name ceaselessly as soon
as we dropped her off. Zeeke was back in school the next day but
home on account of snow on Friday. Despite a recent obsession with
ice, Zeeke had no interest in its cousin snow. To make their way to
music class in the frozen tundra, Steve strapped Zeeke on to his back
with our new backpack carrier and Zeeke had a blast riding in it
(thank you Jay, Brenda & Avery). To help keep Zeeke from getting
frustrated when fitting letters back into his alphabet mat, Karen
taught him to "pat pat pat" them in, which has turned into
a fun game. Sunday we went to the Please Touch Museum with the twins
and then out for dinner at Han Dynasty where Zeeke amazed us by using
chop sticks pretty much correctly!
