Week Seventy-Seven

Zeeke is madly in love with letters. He points out every sign we see and makes us tell him what the letters are. At bedtime, he demands alphabet books and as soon as we get from A to Z, he makes us read them over again. He studies them with such determination but also laughs with glee when he sees them.

He's also gotten very fond of sticky things, having way too much with post-it notes, blue painters tape and stickers. He gets so frustrated when they lose their stickiness. Fortunately, that never happens with his gear magnets. He loves almost all of the music we do now, especially when all three of us get up to dance together to Prince or Janelle Monae or Daft Punk.

On Friday, Karen's mom came to visit. Karen & Zeeke took her out to dinner at Birra with our friends David & Steve, then back to their house for dessert. Zeeke squealed with delight, following their cat around and saying, "Cat! Cat!"

Saturday, we took Zeeke to the Passyunk Fall Festival where we saw lots of the neighborhood kids in costume and someone gave him a little pumpkin. We met up with Leah, Heather & Zack, then went to the park and hit a little flea market where Zeeke insisted we buy him an old Rubik's Cube.

Sunday, we met up with Jen, Kim & the twins at Morris Arboretum for an autumn photoshoot. After many great photos and videos were captured, we all went to dinner at Iron Hill Brewery. Zeeke tried the meatloaf, but much preferred the French fries that came with it.
