enzomatic: watermelon

Enzo felt like snuggling after morning milk, so we stayed on the couch for about 30 minutes. After snuggling, Enzo and I went to Peets for breakfast and coffee. Enzo was really relaxed and had a good meal just sitting in his stroller. He even chewed on a whole pickle for a while. We got home just in time to clean up before Alex came.

Nanny Note: We walked over to Grandma Jean's to play and we watched the men working on Ave 64. After Enzo woke up, we came here for lunch and we also watched Sesame Street. We played outside for a while but Enzo kept eating sticks so we came inside to play and listen to music. After nap we went to Kidspace to play and that was fun, especially the part where Enzo got to eat animal cookies while playing in the water. He was such a mess that he got to have a bath when we got home. At the end of the day we listened to music, ate watermelon and went for a walk. Then we read more books....he sure likes Fish is Fish a lot.

I made Enzo some dinner of mac & cheese with tuna right when I got home from work. We're thinking that feeding him sooner will help him get through dinner without getting over upset. He seems to get over hungry and there's no bringing him back. It seemed to help tonight. He was pretty good in his chair and ate an OK dinner.

After dinner we went for a long backpack walk up around behind the house. Good exercise for dad. Enzo was fine in the pack for about 30 minutes. Gave him an early bath so I could be ready to put him to sleep at the first sign of crankiness. We read books for about 45 minutes. He loves Bruno Munari's ABC book. The W page shows a huge watermelon slice. Enzo loves watermelon and he gets very excited about this page. He literally sat and giggled at this page for 10 minutes. Every time I tried to turn the page, he would turn it back. Then I actually gave him a few bites of watermelon while he was looking at the watermelon page. Pure joy!
