In retrospect, losing Zeke in the Reptile House of the Zoo may have been a precursor to his shift in passions. The Reptile House at the Milwaukee Zoo is a very dark building with many people and many reptiles of all sorts. I was standing with Oliver to the side, Dave was with Zeke and Josie looking at snakes. I sort of spaced off for a while, waiting for Dave to meet up with us. But when he did, he only had Josie with him. Panic set in when I realized that Zeke was no where to be found. I thought, "This is it, the moment all parents fear the most." and rushed around the Reptile House like a lunatic calling Zeke's name.
Luckily, Dave found him - looking at some interesting reptile exhibit or another - and we were all reunited without further incident.
However, shortly after our trip the zoo, Zeke's shifted his interest from mammals/cats to reptiles. I wonder if his time alone in the Reptile House played a role in his sudden love of reptiles?
