Enzo woke up super early, much earlier than usual, because of some unpleasantness in his diaper. Mommy slept with him a little on the couch afterwards, while daddy lay on the other couch trying to appease Mr so he would stop his incessant yowling.

When he woke up again, we tried to have some pancakes but Enzo was not interested. He was super tired and grumpy so daddy took him on a drive where he managed to get a little nap in and came home in a better mood. We had some breakfast of apple sauce, bananas and Pirates Booty in the back yard. (We are trying to keep him on the BRAT diet while he is having his diarrhea issues. Pirates Booty is not on the BRAT diet, but its a good way to replenish his sodium). It was an absolutely beautiful, perfect day and it was great to hang out in the back yard with his playground and the dogs.

We iChatted with Grandma Dee and Grandpa Buzz for a bit. Enzo showed of his new easel and his backyard playground. They very impressed with both.

We watched some sharks and whales, then tried to put him down for a real nap but he did not want any part of his crib. We took him out on another drive, this time to get him some paint to go with his new easel, and he took another nippy nap in the car. After some Jamba Juice, we got home and went over to Wes' house to give her a Christmas present. he got to paint some cookies and play with her stuffed shark and whale - both of which he was coveting badly. On the way up there he said he was going to visit "Wes" and "Nacho" (their French bulldog).

We took a walk, came home and hung out while mommy made dinner. After dinner, mommy and Enzo drew many pictures on the new chalk board easel. Mommy would draw anything he asked - typically some type of fish. Then Enzo would pick up his new eraser and declare "erase", and it would be gone.

He is starting to get better. We are really looking forward to a speedy recovery - that is what we want from Santa!
