Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Zeeke actually came home from school in the same clothes he arrived in, a miracle so far denied us since potty training started. Of course, on Tuesday, he went though three pairs of his own pants and was already on his second pair of the school's pants when we picked him up. The weekend went similarly. Saturday, he had no accidents and then Sunday, it was nothing but accidents. So some steps forward, some steps back.
Friday was his Valentine's Day party at school. Zeeke gave cards to all his friends and came home absolutely wired on sugar.
Saturday, the guard at the building where we go to music class gave him a lollypop for Valentine's Day. After class, he and Steve went into the train station to buy some flowers for Karen. Zeeke carefully studied each bouquet to determine which one was best, although Steve had to stop him from squeezing the flowers.
After his nap, he had a Valentine's Day play date with his friend Colette. Zeeke gave her a flower and she gave him a lollypop. They played together the entire time (no parallel play at all), always wanting to be with each other and do what the other was doing. They had such a good time.
Sunday, it was too cold to leave the house, so we cooked all the bacon and built a gigantic Lego castle. In the afternoon, Zeeke baked peanut butter cookies. He's been asking to help Steve cook for a little while now and he really enjoyed it, at least until he had to touch sticky cookie dough and ran away to wash it off his hands. In the evening, Dena stopped by for a surprise visit and he was riveted to her, unable to look away or to stop flirting.
