Enzo was up at his new usual time, 5:AM. That's getting really old. I went to give him his milk and snuggle, while mommy got a couple extra minutes of sleep. She's on call tonight. Enzo fell back asleep for only a few minutes then wanted to go down stairs. We curled up on the couch, and shared a bowl of cereal. I took Enzo for an early morning walk. It was cold.

I let Alex go around 2:PM this afternoon, and Eric and Wes came over soon after. We all played outside in the backyard, and ate snacks at the picnic table. Nacho and the girls all went totally insane for about an hour chasing the ball and each other all over. We came inside to play with trains, and eat ham sandwiches. Our company left when Enzo needed to use the potty. And boy did he ever.

For the rest of night Enzo and just goofed around the living room. We drew many pictures on the chalk board, all of which were quickly erased. Enzo was soon covered in blue chalk dust from drawing Dory over and over. Then we wrestled around, laughing about erasing. I was laying on the floor, and Enzo was diving on to my chest, yelling "erase?" Each time he flopped on me, I gave him a big squeeze and said "no erase!" and he squealed with delight.

We ate noodles and hot dogs and yogurt (or ice cream as I like to call it) and some fruit and some crackers and some milk. We watched some monkeys and played with puzzles and read some books. I let him watch some Nemo only because he promised that he'd let me cut all his finger and toe nails. He did, and they badly needed clipping. Yikes.

Enzo played with his "many" sharks in the tub, and then we read books for about 45 minutes. He discovered A Kiss for Little Bear last night, and now can't get enough of it. He tried very hard to avoid bedtime tonight with the tried and true isn't it so very interesting method. I played along for a bit. Reading a few extra books. Yes, wow, look at all the animals. But soon it was time for "teeth", and then bed. I hope there aren't a bunch a fireworks at midnight.
