another brick in the wall

Zoe had to head off early to the OR this morning, so Enzo and I ran the dogs to Friday day care and came home for breakfast. I had to let Enzo watch a bit of Nemo, so I could get all his stuff ready for school. We headed out at about 9:30, and I was hoping to stop for a coffee, but Enzo fell asleep right away. We drove up to school, and parked down the street. Enzo slept for over an hour while I sent endless text messages to Zoe and read the Yahoo Sports page and the NY Times on my iPhone.

Enzo finally woke just minutes before the start of "class". He was happy to be there and helped Miss Adrienne gather acorns for her morning circle song. He did great for the first 30 minutes of class, but then needed to go outside for a bottle break. Then he was right back in the mix running around holding this little wooden duck. "Duck, duck, duck, duck", he shouted.

He sat pretty well for snack, and put his dirty bowl in the dish bin when he was done. He got a little anxious about the big kids playing hide and seek in the big lawn. He really wanted to be over there, and got upset when I stopped him. I managed to divert his attention for a bit, and he settled down somewhat. We almost didn't make it to closing circle, but when Enzo heard Miss Adrienne signing inside, he walked to the door and looked in. Once he saw everyone in the tent, he decided to rejoin the class.

Nanny Note: After school we went to Grandma Jean's to see the kittens, and then we came home and played in Enzo's room for a while. After that, we stood in the front yard to watch the guys working on the wall.

Zoe came home and we chatted with the guys working on the front wall. Enzo was very interested in what's going on with his front yard. We came back inside and Enzo got to watch another couple minutes of Nemo while we made dinner.

Enzo enjoyed his favorite pancetta pasta tonight and some cucumber with kewpie mayonnaise. We went for a short walk after dinner and then played with trains before bath. Enzo had a nice long bath, and then played in his room with mommy and daddy before bed. He was in a great mood tonight.
