We made Valentine's Day cards for Zeeke's classmates this week. Steve made them with some downloaded images from the show Daniel Tiger, Karen printed them up and found envelopes, and Zeeke carefully decided which friends got which characters and paintstakingly colored each one with colored pencils.
Zeeke has been obsessed with a color-by-the-numbers coloring book this week. He wakes up thinking about it and tries to color as many of the pictures as he can every day.
We have moved from sitting in his room while he falls asleep to sitting outside of his room. It's a distinct improvement most nights since it slightly curbs his attempts at late night conversation and makes it easier to sneak away once he falls asleep.
Saturday, Steve & Zeeke took a walk to the bakery for a Valentine's Day treat and then returned home for lots of coloring.
Sunday, there was still more coloring. He refused to take his nap which left everybody unhappy. Steve's parents had us over for dinner. He had a great time playing with puppets they brought back from the The Rose Parade.
