Most days, after Zeeke is finished with
his breakfast, he grabs his favorite toy and sits down in Karen’s
lap to play with it. On loan from his grandparents, the ancient red
box--which Steve and his older brothers played with when they were
Zeeke's age--is covered in eighteen differently shaped holes.
Working together, Zeeke and Karen fit each of the plastic pieces
through their corresponding holes until they're done. He's always
very pleased with himself when he accomplishes tasks like this, often
giving himself a round of applause if we're a bit late in responding.
He's also been doing a great job of following directions and
cleaning up toys when he is finished with them.
Karen, Steve & Zeeke got to spend a great beach weekend with Pop Pop and Grandmom at their time share in Brigantine. A wonderful time was had by all! Zeeke really enjoyed walking along the beach. He would find a track in the sand left by some truck and keep walking until he wore out the adults. When we got back to Philly Sunday night, Zeeke started saying, "Pop Pop" over and over.
