stay at home dad

The nanny needed the day off, so I stayed home with Enzo today. We had quite a day. After breakfast, we headed over to Peets for a coffee and something to eat. Enzo ate some blueberry muffin while he watched the pigeons pickup his crumbs. I also shared the salmon from my lox and cream cheese bagel.

We headed up to Borders to explore the baby book section after a bit. Enzo crawled around picking out books. We got two more Eric Carle books, and some others. He must have more than 50 books by now. Unfortunately Enzo feel asleep in the car for about 15 minutes on the way home, and that messed up his nap schedule for the entire day. He wouldn't go to sleep when we got home.

We had lunch — sweet potatoes and apples — and then headed out to Gymboree. Second week in a row I've been able to take him. Enzo had so much fun. He even met a cute little girl named Sophia. They even sort of held hands for a second! Enzo crawled through tubes and up ramps and over bumps. He stood and laughed and clapped too.

From Gymboree, we headed to the valley to see the doctor about Enzo's eczema. Enzo feel asleep in the car again. We had a quick appt and got some ointment for Enzer. Zoe was in the OR so we couldn't say Hi, even though we were right next door.

Enzo feel asleep again on the way home. When we got home, he was super mellow. I took him on a walk around 4:PM hoping he might get some sleep, but he didn't sleep. Because he got so little rest today, Zoe and I were afraid to go out to dinner, so we stayed in and had leftovers. Despite getting less than an hour of sleep all day (usu. gets 3 or 4 hours), Enzo was pretty great all day. I should stay home more often.
