enzomatic: vday with a-ma

After cereal with mommy, Enzo ran up to the corner bakery to grab a coffee and giant heart-shaped cookie with sprinkles. We also got a bag of candy hearts for Alex. Back home, Enzo gave Alex her present and said "love you".

After a couple hours, I took Enzo from Alex, and we went to school. He was upset on the way over about leaving home, but after he drank his milk and crashed for a bit, I thought he'd be OK. I carried him up with his head on my shoulder, and he seemed to be happy when he saw Adrienne and she sang her circle songs. But only after about fifteen minutes, Enzo was upset again and asked to go home so we did. Back home, after a snack and some milk, he was his usual silly self.

Nanny Note: This morning we played with toys, painted and listened to music. After school we played a Valentine Dice game and made a heart person. And Enzo finished painting his bag. I let Enzo watch some Totoro, then we went to Gymboree to get all that energy out. Yikes. I thought Enzo would sleep on the way over but oh no, he was crazy, growling, screeching, talking, spitting water and spilling his Booty all over the place.

After spending a few hours with Alex, I took Enzo downtown to pick up A-Ma and Andy. Traffic was so terrible, but it gave Enzo a chance to finally get some much needed sleep. He woke up when they got in the car, and spent the ride home looking through his animal encyclopedia.

After dinner, we all sat on the couch and talked about animals. Enzo performed some tricks - counting, saying his name. A-Ma thought it was especially cute when he said "enzo koji deleece". And then we went to his little table and drew with markers. Enzo also made A-Ma and Andy some pizza before they had to go. Enzo was very sweet tonight with them, and asked for hugs and kisses as they walked out the door.

Mommy got back while Enzo was still in the bath. So we had family story time, and then to bed.
