Zeeke's weekend fever evolved into a skin rash on his bottom and legs. Steve stayed home with on Monday (Zeeke's first sick day since starting school). His fever was gone but the slowly spreading rash was stressing Karen out, so we took him to the pediatrician, who assured us that it was a virus, no longer contagious, and would be gone in a week or two. He went back to school for the rest of the week and showed signs of being less stressed about being dropped off.
He has become obsessed with the alphabet floor mat in his room. He loves to pop out the holes in the foam rubber letters and numbers, then walk around with one in each hand. Sometimes he even tries to fit them back together.
Saturday, we had a great visit with Steve's parents. Zeeke adored playing with Grandmom's stuffed collie dog. After that we went to Zack's first birthday party. Zeeke had a great time playing with the water table, flirting with the adults, eating burgers, and even went swimming in a pool for the first time.
