Enzo turned on his music and then quietly hung out in his crib for a while this morning. When we finally went in, he was in the sweetest mood. He snuggled with Zoe and then asked to read some books after milk. Soon after coming downstairs, Enzo was out in the front yard playing in the dirt pile. At one point he just laid back in the dirt, staring up at the sky. He had sliced lox ("samon") and bagels this morning.

Enzo had a short early nap today, and when I got him from Alex around 5:PM, he was tired and upset. As I carried him around, he buried his head against my shoulder and cried. I made him laugh a few times, pretending to drink his juice and showing the fire captain's mustache, and he quickly settled down. He was happy to see Zoe when she got home from work, and rushed into the kitchen to say hi.

Zoe made his all-time favorite pancetta pasta tonight, and he ate a big pile of it. After dinner, Enzo chased the dogs, and read some more books with Zoe. He got a new turtle book today. His favorite picture is the sea turtle eating "grass". In fact he pretty much only wants to look at that one picture, and say "grass" over and over.

After bath, Zoe read another stack of books, including Alligators All Around, which she sang four or five times. Before bed, Enzo and made up a new game hiding little animals under his stacking cups. We stacked and then lifted the cups looking, of course, for the "turdle!"
