Monday night, we made valentines for the kids in Zeeke's class.
Saturday morning, Zeeke wanted to play underwater superheroes with Steve. He was OctoDragon and Steve was Sharkrick. He enjoyed telling Steve what his powers were and when to use them. After gymnastics class, Steve took him to McDonalds as a reward for a good week at school. After lunch, he worked on making the superhero masks and wristbands from a kit he bought with Valentines money. They ended the afternoon with a trip to the playground where he hung out with Tristan and Sadie.
Sunday, Steve & Zeeke made the mistake of going to the zoo on an unseasonably warm winter's day. They sat in traffic for hours, only to arrive at a zoo that was overcrowded and understaffed. It was not the best trip ever. Zeeke fell deep asleep on the way home and Steve let him nap in the car until dinner.
Conversations with Zeeke:
"Well, Daddy, did you know that soy milk and cow milk are both kinds of milk. But that soy milk is made out of soy beans and cow milk is made out of cows?"
"Daddy, do you know what Tabasco peppers can do?"
"No."
"They can make an old man weak. They can take the paint off the wall."
"What is this picture Zeeke?"
"The Dirty Apartment Building."
"When did you see a dirty apartment building?"
"Mommy, the pictures are not what you see."
