If we ever had a doubt that Enzo was going to grow up to be a typical little boy with bumps, scrapes, and bruises, today we got our answer. Our theory is that this is all because he discovered how to run this week. Before we even got out of the door this morning, Enzo tripped on his blanket and landed face first on the hardwood. Some tears.

We made it through our coffee at Peets with Wes without incident despite a lot of running around on the concrete and a number of close calls with steps, iron fences, and metal railings.

The trouble started at the playground. Second incident of the day, Enzo slipped on the slide and hit his face. More tears. He quickly recovered and had fun playing on all the equipment. After a long nap in the car we stopped at a one year birthday party for Malia.

Hadn't been there for five minuted before Enzo trips over someones foot, and boom, face first into the asphalt driveway. More tears, and a big bump and mark on his forehead. After lunch and cake and bouncy castle with daddy, Enzo tripped again carrying his sippy cup. Again, on to the concrete. This time, his sippy cup hit him on the mouth. A few more tears. He did love his cupcake - he stuck his finger in the frosting, put it in his mouth, turned to mommy and said, "mmmmmm".

Back home, we had the bright idea to take him down the street for a walk. He started just running full speed down the sidewalk, and again, trip and forehead straight into the concrete. Yet more tears and another mark and bump on the other side of his head. He recovered quickly. He continued on and had a nice walk, spending a lot of walking up and time rolling down our neighbors grassy hill.

Back at the house, Zoe were talking about how many times he'd fallen today, when bam, down again, this time against the fence near the driveway. More tears and a scraped knee to top off the injury list.

Despite all his bumps today (he got hurt more times in an 8 hour day than he has in the last 3 months), he actually did pretty well. He only cried for a few seconds for all his injuries, including the big tumble on the asphalt, and quickly recovered. Hopefully the big egg(s) on his forehead recover as quickly.

With all the injuries and excitement of the party, Enzo never took an afternoon nap. He started getting cranky and tired around 4:30PM so we let him watch some Nemo while we waited for our delivery dinner to arrive. He didn't each much, and we gave him an early bath, but he perked up after his bath and hung in there for another hour. He loved finding Goldbug and finding specific books on the shelf. He played with his trains and his toys, and had a sweet afternoon with his mommy and daddy. He gave in at 7pm.
