silver lake

We had a nice breakfast at home, and played around the house all morning. Then we went grocery shopping. Enzo loves the grocery store, he gets snacks to entertain him while I schlep him around in the cart. He likes snacks. He did a lot of talking at Whole Foods. Back home, I put Enzo down for a nap which lasted about an hour. Zoe made him lunch and I packed a little cooler for a ride across town.

Our plan was to go to Bentwood to look for birthday presents for Gabe, turning 3, and Maya, turning 2. Traffic on the 110 was terrible so Zoe pulled off and headed into Silver Lake to a little store there called La La Ling. They have great t-shirts. We accidentally bought Enzo a new shirt in the process of getting presents. We made a couple more stops, one for a giant ice cream sundae. Zoe was in line listening to a couple women talk about how cute Enzo was (we were sitting outside). They also mentioned how sweet it was that he was out with his grandpa.

Milestones: Enzo also knows the sign for mommy, drink, and eat.

Enzo ate a bowl of fruit on the way home in the car. I tried to put him to sleep when we got home, but he decided not to sleep. He's really changed his sleep schedule the last few days - one nap during the day, and to bed an hour early. After failed nap, we played in the front yard. Enzo stood in the pool, spraying the hose all over himself until he was so cold that his teeth were chattering.

Our neighbors stopped by for a few minutes before heading across town. They should have stayed for dinner because Zoe made her fish tacos again, which were great. Enzo held his own corn on the cob tonight. He kept biting in the same spot over and over. He was ready for bed at 7:15 tonight.
