school day
I drove Enzo around hoping he'd fall asleep before class. He finally did but only in time to catch about a 20 minute nap. He was upset to be woken up, so we started class on the wrong foot. Enzo drank a little bit of milk right before opening circle which calmed him down.
He was into circle time and open play for a good, long time, but then decided he wanted to go outside. He got upset when I tried to direct him back into the play area, so we went outside for a little walk and another hit off the bottle. He was ready to go back in after about ten minutes. When I went out to put the snack together, he came out with me. He gathered acorns and throw them in the trash can.
Although he did sit quietly in his chair for snack, it was kind of train wreck. He first dumped his water into his snack bowl, then picked all his fruit and pancake out of his his bowl and stuffed them into his glass. Then he dumped them back into his bowl. Then he dumped the bowl of fruit and water down the front of his shirt. Really made me proud. Most of the other kids sat quietly munching away.
He got a little torqued right before closing circle, but once he saw everyone head inside, he wanted to be there too. We sang some good song together, and then he was ready to go. When I got home, he was obviously tired, and started crying right away. I passed him off to Alex and headed downtown.
Tonight Enzo and I went over to Wes' house to eat Thai takeout. Zoe is on call and Christa is out of town. The kids did OK with dinner, both of them getting a little antsy near the end. Wes threw a chunk of rice across the table which stuck to Enzo's face. We tried not to laugh. After dinner they played, read some books, and chased the puppy a bit.
After bath back home, Enzo and I read books and snuggled. I asked Enzo to get me specific books off the shelf and he got it right each time. Get the Kissing book, get me a book about animals, get the Gold Bug book. It was getting late, so even though he didn't seem too tired, I plopped him in his crib, and he went to sleep a few minutes later.
