bolognese

We started out the day with an early morning run to Whole Foods. Enzo and I sat down for breakfast, while Zoe finished up our weekly shopping. There two other couples with kids the same age were sitting near us doing the same thing. Enzo sat oblivious, stuffing turkey links sausage in his mouth. On the way home we stopped for a Jamba Juice.

Before nap, we played in the backyard. Enzo sat in the swing while daddy picked up three days worth of dog poop. After nap, we watched some of the Patriots game, and Zoe played "unstable" with Enzo. Zoe realized she was missing some ingredients so Enzo and I drove to the store. We played in the backyard again. Enzo was busy when throwing the ball for Betty, when he stopped in his tracks, pointed at the ground and said "poop!"

Wes and Eric stopped by for a bit. She was supposed to have her 2nd birthday party today, but it was canceled because her mom wasn't feeling well. Enzo got upset when Wes got in his swing, so we came inside to play in Enzo's new kitchen and with the train.

Zoe spent the afternoon making an insane bolognese from the Chez Panisse cookbook. Enzo really loved his pasta and sauce. He sat quietly eating for a while, and then looked up and said "mmmmm, good". That made Zoe's day.

We attempted a run to the bookstore but Enzo was getting sleepy, and asked to go home. So we did. After bath, we read him a few books. He continues to surprise us with how much he's memorized from each one — saying the book titles, finishing sentences, and always knowing what's coming on the next page.
