4th

Bright and early family trip to Laurel Canyon dog park before breakfast this morning. The dog park was kind of disaster. A few out of control big dogs with lame owners that we hassling B&H, and a big deep mud puddle that Harriet kept curling up in. The dogs were a mess when we left.

Zoe made some great waffles this morning with fresh fruit and whipped cream that Enzo and I thoroughly enjoyed. After breakfast we blew up the new swimming pool in the front yard, and played in that for a good long time before morning nap.

Milestones: During breakfast, Enzo pretty clearly said "Harriet" when Zoe pointed at Harriet and asked Enzo, "Who's that?".

We had lunch after nap and then went out to run a couple errands. I managed to bang Enzo's shin on the edge of the couch as we were leaving, which made him cry pretty hard. And it seemed that his mood kind of went south from that point on. I think his four molars coming in at once has finally caught up to him. Everyone keeps telling us what a big deal it is, but up to this point they didn't really seem to bother him.

After errands, we came home and tried to take an afternoon nap. Enzo didn't fall asleep in his crib, so I took him on a walk around the neighborhood. He fell asleep about two minutes into the walk and stayed asleep for about 30 minutes.

Enzo cried the whole drive up to the Metcalfs for no apparent reason. He settled down once we got there. We played in Gabe's room before dinner. Enzo ate a big meal. After dinner, we played in the front yard in the sandbox and the pool. Enzo was getting upset at the littlest things tonight, like when Gabe took the hose away from him or he got some water splashed in his face. Things that normally he would care about. Enzo left the BBQ crying.

He was upset through his bath, and cried a little when I put him the crib tonight too. The fireworks just finished and didn't wake him up, so hopefully he'll stay asleep all night.
