things i know

Enzo and I went to the Rose Bowl to throw the ball for the dogs this morning. We came home to a nice waffle breakfast which Enzo really enjoyed.

Nanny Note: We went for a walk, read I am a pig, and watched Goodnight Gorilla. After lunch, we went to the park to play, we walked all over the park and played in the sand. When we got home, we played with ice, and Enzo really enjoyed eating it. I tried to get him to take another nap around 3 but he didn't want to so we went for a walk because he was very cranky. Enzo slept for the last little bit of our walk and I think he feels better. We had a snack and watched Where the Wild Things Are and played with toys. We are still working on our sign language.

We had our usual routine tonight - dinner, family walk, playtime, bath and reading. Enzo didn't fall asleep while I gave him his bedtime bottle, but I put him in the crib anyway. He cried for about one minute, and then sat there quietly listening to his music for about 30 minutes (he turned it back on), before falling asleep all by himself.

Zoe and I started thinking about all the things that Enzo knows now, and here's the list we came up with.
