Jeremy went back to the doctor today. He is even sicker than we thought, but he has the right medicine now. Hopefully, anyway.
Being home sick has its advantages, though. Yesterday, Jeremy got a special treat when he heard Zeke's first non-Dad word. (DAD was Victor's first word, too. And he didn't say Mama until waaaaay after he consistently referred to our neighbor, Bob, by name. But I digress.)
The word was HAT. He said it when Jeremy put something on his head to be funny. I heard him say it later that day when Jeremy put something else on his head to be funny. Why HAT, any why does Jeremy keep putting things on his head? It's all about Go, Dog. Go! I don't really understand the appeal of that book, but Jeremy and both boys adore it. Zeke will bring it to me and sit through the whole thing. He's very patient.
Zeke passed another milestone this week: he learned to blow his nose. That's right, if you put a tissue up to Zeke's nose and say "blow," he'll blow. And hard, too. And actually, you don't even have to say blow. It's amazing.
One more totally amazing thing about Zeke. Tonight, as I was trying to interest Victor in a "game" of picking up his cars and putting them in the car basket, Zeke got into the fun. He hunted for little cars (with some direction) and threw them in the car basket with joy. He was so pleased with himself.

Hooray for Zeke!! What a fun first word to use in context. ;) Oh! My parents found a shake-up car like yours. We were SO excited! Caleb doesn't even care that it's pink. ;)
And thanks for the Volvo comment! I seem to remember stories about ZimZim! The expensive repairs were our only draw-back really... but you know Joshua can fix anything. Parts will still be a little more, but not bad. In fact, when the owner of the dealership (small, family-owned) found out I was a graphic designer he was already trying to barter--If you buy the car, I'll give you a few free oil changes if you update our logo! Ha!
That's so nice when they're still thrilled with picking up. Don't you wish it would last longer! And I totally hear you on Go Dog Go. It is a favorite at our house too. Go figure.
Oh man, how did you teach Zeke to blow???!! Samantha is on cold #237 and the goo is driving me bonkers.
