school visit

We started the day brushing our teeth in Enzo's room. He really loves to brush himself, but does a pretty poor job at it. Mainly just likes to slurp down the toothpaste. He got pretty upset when we took the toothbrush away from him. Hey, the kid really loves to brush his teeth.

We all went out to breakfast, although mommy had to leave after a few minutes for work. Enzo ate another huge breakfast. He really liked his pesto bowties, although it took me a minute to convince him that it was noodles ("loonles").

After breakfast, I took Enzo to tour another Montessori school near us. We went in the 2 to 3 yo class, and stayed for a bit. Enzo was hesitant at first, but relaxed when he spotted a book about fish on the shelf. I sat with the director for a long time talking about the school and the philosophy. We looked in the 3-4 class also, but Enzo was anxious to go explore the school playground so we went and did that.

We drove across town to grab a Jamba Juice and then went to our Waldorf class. He did great today. Class was really mellow, with no altercations. Enzo was very talkative. He did OK with snack, but dumped it in the bin prematurely and then regretted it. After we all go outside to play. All the girls played in the little house and on the swing, while Enzo sat in the mud pit digging. Such a boy.

He fell asleep on the way home, and I transfered him into the crib. He was asleep when Alex came to relieve me.

Nanny Note: Enzo woke up crying "no!". I brought him downstairs, put on Nemo and gave him a snack. He cheered up quickly. He sounds a bit congested so I gave him OJ and water today. We played at Kidspace a while.

After my meeting downtown, I stopped by the house to pick up Enzo, and we drove to the valley to eat dinner with mommy at the hospital. He was very happy to see mommy, and ate a good dinner of the usual Thai. He spent a lot of time playing on the phone, trying to call "Dee". Mommy made the mistake of telling him the story of the elf that got so scared that he jumped out his shoes. He asked her to repeat it about six times. He got upset when we said goodbye to mommy and the elevator door closed.

He couldn't have been easier for me tonight. He sat quietly in the backseat on the way home reciting animal names and eating some old crackers from a crevice in his car seat. At home, we ate a quick pop, and then took a long hot shark infested bath. It was getting late so we only read a couple books before bed at 8:15PM.
