unscathed

Zoe made pancakes this morning. We ate breakfast in the kitchen so we could get the hot of the stove. As per usual, Enzo made a mess of his syrup. We spent the morning getting mommy ready for her trip. Enzo watched a little Nemo and played with his trains to pass the time.

On our way to the airport, Enzo fell asleep. He stayed asleep when we dropped Zoe off, and slept all the way back to the house. About an hour total.

Back home, we ate a small lunch of bologna, noodles, and mango. Pretty random, but all quite delicious in their own right. Enzo and I drove over to the bookstore to see what we could see after lunch. It is pretty much impossible to find a good kids book that we don't already own, but I found a few. The Lorac and another Leo Lionni book are both sort of over his head right now — too many words. Also got Where's Waldo, which he didn't quite figure out. On each page there's a Waldo headshot on a post card which overlays a drawing of a huge crowd of tiny little people. The goal is to find Waldo in the crowd, but Enzo just points to the big picture of Waldo on the postcard, and is like, "he's right there!" Couldn't quite explain it to him. Thinking about using whiteout to cover up postcard Waldo.

After the book store, we went to the park to run around. I was very nervous after the crazy day he had yesterday, and also because I have strict orders to not let Enzo hurt himself. But he was fine. Pretty mellow today. Did some climbing and sliding, but spent most of his time playing in the sand with some other kid's truck.

We stopped by Heirloom on the way home to grab second lunch. That was a mistake. How long does it take to microwave a piece of quiche? Twenty minutes! Enzo was getting very upset, and my left arm was about to fall off. I had to hold him the entire time.

I tried putting Enzo down for a nap when we got home, but he just cried and cried and cried in his crib. Finally went up to rescue him. We finished his bottle and then read some books to calm down.

We walked up to say hi to Wes before dinner for a minute, and then came home to cook our lasagna that mommy made for us last night. It turned out perfectly and Enzo loved it. Which is good because he'll be eating that for the next four nights.

On our family walk, we bumped into the Pfleegers again, and stopped to play for a bit. Enzo and Wes marched around and around the house banging mini pots and pans for about 20 minutes. All captured on video.

We got home just in time for emergency meltdown quick bath, and then a nice cold bottle of milk to relax. We read many books, and snuggled for almost an hour in the Fatboy. Enzo was very sweet tonight. I got many kisses. I finally put him to bed around 8:PM.

One injury free day in a row and counting.
