Glad for a new day!

Ok, so I missed a day because it was basically like "ditto" to the last post. Rough. Must be teeth. Today, though, was brilliant! We woke up to the sun shining and the breeze blowing. Zeke hugged my neck and kissed me and I was sooooooo thankful for new mornings, new mercies-thank you, God!
We went for a run on the boardwalk, had breakfast, a little naptime, had El Pollo Loco for lunch and then went to the park where I took pictures of Zeke in his monkey costume. Then, we met Dan for a little tricker treating at a local strip mall. Zeke looked incredibly cute and he loved waddling around in his costume. At first he didn't understand what was going on, but it didn't take him long to figure out that he held out his bag and got to put candy in it. Sometimes he even tried to give his bag to the person with the bowl of candy. Whenever they held the bowl out to him, though, he would reach right over, pick something out, and put it in his bag. It was fun! He got to eat a few smarties and then Dan and I sneaked most of his candy.

On the drive home, Dan taught Zeke how to lick a sucker. Oh my goodness! He thought it was the funniest thing ever. He would stick his tongue on the sucker and then just crack up laughing. Cute, cute, cute.

After dinner, Zeke went to his stroller and said walk, so we took him for a walk. It's so cool that he is communicating what he wants more and more clearly. Pretty soon, he'll be telling us exactly what is on his mind!
