Week Two Hundred and Forty

Zeeke definitely has the Christmas spirit.  He's singing Christmas songs, drawing Christmas pictures, and watching all the old Christmas specials this week (Rudolph, Frosty, Charlie Brown, the Grinch, etc).

Saturday morning, we decorated the tree, then went to an art event to have him photographed sitting on a wooden moon.  After Vietnamese food and a nap, we walked along Passyunk Ave, checking out the ice sculptures in front of local businesses.  The highlight was watching them sculpt a lifesize Olaf the snowman (from Frozen).  Zeeke was especially excited to take home a piece of discarded ice which he insisted we keep in the freezer.

Sunday morning, we went to the Zoo.  It was a little chilly, but they had some fun Christmas displays.  When we were looking at the Sifaka lemurs, Zeeke was very interested in what the numbers on their sign meant.  Steve explained that it was the birthdays for each of the lemurs.  Later, at the Treehouse, they had a table set up where kids could make cards for the animals.  Zeeke worked on his for a while, then ran over and asked how to spell "happy," then "birth," "day," "Sifaka," and "lemurs."  Sunday, evening, Karen rearranged his room, bringing his desk upstairs, which he seems to like.
