Zeeke has been really enjoying puzzle toys this week. Whenever he completes one of the parts, we clap & say “yay." He loves the praise so much that he can't help but join in and clap for himself. Saturday, Liz taught him to throw his hands up in the air when he says "Yay." He's very into shapes this week. He's always loved circles--"KIR-KULL!"--but he totally surprised us by busting out the word "oval." We're still working on the pointier shapes, but he's digging any book about them.
Zeeke's favorite book of the week: My Turn to Learn Numbers by Natalie Marshall
On Tuesday, his day care held an amazing Thanksgiving feast for the children. Zeeke’s favorite part was the cranberry sauce.
Thursday, we went to Thanksgiving with Steve's family. Zeeke had a great time with his cousins Avery, Becca, and Connor. He had more cranberry sauce and Avery persuaded him to try a pickle which he loved.
Saturday, after music class, Steve & Zeeke visited Karen at the library. He always has a great time there, especially enjoying the kids computer games. After his nap, we went to Liz & Kate’s tree-trimming party. He made lots of new friends and showed off his knowledge of letters.
Sunday, we went for a walk to buy a loaf of bread, but Zeeke was having such a good time walking that we kept going. He walked almost the whole way to the playground (over half a mile) on his own two feet. We sang the whole way and he stopped at one point to peer into the windows of his favorite restaurant Birra. After his nap, we drove up to Chestnut Hill for a play date and dinner with the Jen, Kim & the twins. The boys had fun exploring a hidden playground they'd discovered in their neighborhood.
