Autumn is here, but the cooler weather hasn't convinced Zeeke to wear long pants. Even when he admits to feeling cold, he still insists on shorts. We finally got him to try long pants on Sunday, but he says he'll still wear shorts to school. He's less committed when it comes to what he'll wear for Halloween. First, he was going to be Kristoff from Frozen, then a pink bat with a rainbow on its belly, then a monster, and most recently a slice of pizza. (The pink rainbow bat may be inspired by his recent obsession with an old Care Bears book from the library.)
He's officially through with sippy cups and mostly doing a great job of not spilling. Oddly, he seems to drink less at home since the switch, but he's doubled his milk intake at school. Going to the mini-mart to pick up a half gallon of milk on Monday mornings is now one of his favorite rituals.
Tuesday, after school, there was a great dance party followed by an epic trip to Purple Flower Mountain. Friday, after school, we raked leaves.
Saturday morning, Steve & Zeeke couldn't find parking near music class so they went to the playground instead. That evening we went to a housewarming party at Jenifer & Eric's. A girl named Paige took Zeeke under her wing and kept him busy with her tablet.
Sunday morning, Karen & Zeeke painted pumpkins with glitter paint and then hit a consignment sale. Zeeke refused any new clothes, but came home thrilled to have acquired a Dora version of Candyland and some plastic jewelry. In the afternoon, we visited Liz & Dena.
