Enzo woke up after playing his music to himself for awhile, then he started saying, "daddy?" so we knew he was ready for some milk. We headed out for some breakfast where Enzo picked out all the grapes and pears from his fruit salad.

We had a nice ichat with grandma Dee and grampy Buzz and Josie, and watched some football. We went for a walk to see the ducks and coots; unfortunately someone had been there just before us and the ducks and coots were pretty much full. Enzo gnawed on some of their old bread on the way home.

He had some lunch of shark and whale shaped PB&J and took a nap. Li, Neil, and little Elijah came over for a playdate and some chili and more football. We lent Elijah Enzo's old radio flyer walker, but as soon as it came out of the garage, Enzo swooped down on it like a long lost friend. He wheeled his stuffed rabbit and hammerhead around for awhile and played with another old toy we pulled out for Elijah - it was a relief to see how much Enzo has grown in a year. He was pretty sweet to Elijah after we explained that Elijah was littler than he was.

After they left, daddy and Enzo went to pick up the dogs and we played outside for awhile. He liked his dinner (and lunch) of chili and rice. After some Planet Earth penguins ("pengie") we took a bath and read some books.

He is definitely still spooked by the elf and the Bear Hunt book, even though mommy tried to put a happy spin on it by explaining that the bear was going home with the family to eat some cake. Enzo seemed to feel a little better about it, but still kept saying that he was scared. Right before we put him in his crib, however, in his usual ruse to try to squeeze a few more minutes of awake time, he asked for "cake"? and "pengie"?
