Zeeke had no potty accidents at school all week long! It was like pitching a no-hitter and just as awesome. And even though Saturday was a busy one with lots of travel, he stayed accident free then too. Alas, Sunday was full of accidents. Apparently, like dieters, potty trainers need a cheat day every now and then.
With great progress, however, comes great regression. His sleeping has been way off: taking a while to fall asleep, lots of wakeups, super early mornings. Amazingly he's always full of energy no matter how brief his sleep is. If only the same could be said for his parents! He's also started experimenting with crying to get what he wants. Needless to say, we're trying our best to shut that down fast.
Zeeke's been enjoying sliding around on icy sidewalks, so trips home from school are taking a little longer. We didn't have any big cooking projects this week, but he has started helping us make his peanut butter sandwiches and pack his lunch.
Saturday morning, we played hooky from music class and went to the Adventure Aquarium with Leah & Zack. It was a great time. We saw fish and frogs and turtles, petted stingrays and sea stars, and got to check out their prehistoric sea creatures display. After his nap, we went to his best bud Lettie's house for an awesome play date full of play dough, wagon rides, dress up, and lots and lots of dancing.
Sunday, the weather turned to icy rain, so we sadly had to cancel a visit to Pop Pop and Gigi's house and stay home instead.
Conversations with Zeeke:
"Do you have a pet dragon, Daddy?"
"No, I have a pet Zeeke."
"I'm not a pet!"
"Oh."
"I have a pet camel. Her name is Carla."
"Cool. Tell me about her."
"She's friendly and she has long, long legs. But I'm sad."
"Why are you sad?"
"Because Carla has to live at the farm."
